[Buildroot] [git commit] package/protobuf: remove target version of 'protoc'

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=df6de52bd4eafb2aeedf8a7935601feff86dcf9f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The tool 'protoc' and its associated library libprotoc.so are only
needed during development, to convert a protocol buffer definition in the
associated code for a specific code language.

Buildroot does not officially support creating a development environment on
target, so remove these files to reduce disk usage by more than 1.5 MB
(stripped, uncompressed).
