update proto extract method / update protos to 2.300.x (breaking change, ready to merge)

[vinikjkkj]

Proto

This update will change access to proto properties, example (proto.Message will be proto.WAE2E.Message)

Proto Extract

Modified proto-extract from tulir's whatsmeow method, this version generates protos with extracted javascript modules from whatsapp web, no need to install third-party modules, only protobufjs-cli

Usage

1. Download WhatsApp Web javascript modules to proto.js file in proto-extract folder

2. Install protobufjs-cli with yarn or npm

3. Open terminal shell in proto-extract folder

4. Run generate.sh file

5. This script will generate all protos and all statics .js and .ts

TODO

• Fix export protos to use in baileys, in protos that have imports, there is conflicts with imported file. It can be fixed if we put all the protos in a single file, like the old one
• Fix TS files generated from pbts
• Update proto imports in baileys
• Find some way to import namespaces to proto object

i don't know if purp will merge, apparently it's not how he wants, and he didn't tell me what should be changed, I'm not going to resolve conflicts without being sure it will be merged

I don't agree with this course of development. We'll be releasing the WhiskeySocket's ProtoCocktail proprietary protobuf harvesting tool very soon. (this will also be the method determined by whatsmeow and Cobalt as well)
