Eric Wieser 89c585602a Add another typescript protobuf plugin to the docs (#23154 )

This one has a slight name collision with one already on this list, and I think it's easier to notice that if both are listed.

https://github.com/improbable-eng/ts-protoc-gen seems to have more stars than the one that was previously listed here, https://github.com/thesayyn/protoc-gen-ts.

Closes #23154

RPC Implementations

GRPC (http://www.grpc.io/) is Google's RPC implementation for Protocol Buffers. There are other third-party RPC implementations as well. Some of these actually work with Protocol Buffers service definitions (defined using the service keyword in .proto files) while others just use Protocol Buffers message objects.
