Enhancement - swift3 server side sample code via swift package manager

[johndpope]

It's now possible to package objective-c and c++ into swift package manager.

While it's possible to spit out a simple swift implementation of messages suitable for libraries on ios using Apple's handy work
https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf

generating the corresponding ProtoService is something else
apple/swift-protobuf#118

In other words - given the sample swift code in this repo-
https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/objective-c/examples/SwiftSample

can we package this up into SPM (decoupling ios stuff) to provide a hello world for server side swift?

To explore this further (for anyone wanting to attempt this) - I've patched a Dockerfile for swift3 local development https://gist.github.com/johndpope/01a74ffb93921df48e334097117be1b3

This was to interface to https://github.com/johndpope/DockerParseyMcParsefaceAPI
that runs parsey mcparseface using gprc + protobuffers.

I will attempt to port this over and update this ticket if I make any progress.

I found this https://github.com/Huawei-PTLab/SwiftGRPC
https://github.com/Huawei-PTLab/CGRPC
but couldn't get grpc patched. Huawei-CPLLab/CGRPC#2

N.B. - this code above doesn't use obj-c

also - I don't know what this means

pkg-config should be able to generate the correct CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for using the library.

Any ideas?
