This PR implements a new subcommand `doc` that generates markdown documentation for a given gRPC service!
**Description**
For the most part, the inner logic of this subcommand is the same as the `describe`, the only thing that changes is the way that the found descriptor is transformed to a final output.
In this case, a `Packages` type has been implemented to transform a `ServiceDescriptor` into a map of `Package`s.
Each package groups all the file descriptors with the same package name (or namespace).
A `Package` contains all the necessary information for a file of documentation to be generated (All its contained services, messages and enum descriptors and its name).
The output of this command is a folder with all the generated documentation, which contains a file per protobuf package.
**Introduced the `granc-test-support` crate**
* Renamed the `echo_service` crate as `granc-test-support`, providing both the definition of a protobuf service for integration testing and a function to compile protobuffer at runtime into a file descriptor (Potentially this could be used to let users pass a folder to a proto project in addition to the server reflection and the local file descriptor options. For example, the `call` command could compile a file descriptor on the fly from a folder containing a protobuffer project before making the call to the gRPC server.
**Descriptor API Enhancements:**
* Added `name`, `full_name`, and `package_name` methods to the `Descriptor` enum to simplify access to descriptor metadata. (`granc-core/src/client/types.rs`)
**Dependency Management Improvements:**
* Added grouping for gRPC-related dependencies in `dependabot.yml` for improved automated dependency updates. (`.github/dependabot.yml`)
This PR makes the `--file-descriptor-set` CLI option to be global for all the commands.
By consequence, the `GrancClient` has been refactored to use a typestate pattern to ensure that there are two separate and decoupled implementations of the behaviour of the client when a file descriptor is loaded and when server reflection is enabled, since both cases have by nature separate error cases and return values invariants.
It also significantly improves the documentation for both the main `README.md` and the `granc-core/README.md`, clarifying usage patterns, command-line options, and the internal architecture of the `GrancClient` API.
**API and architecture changes:**
* Refactored `granc-core/src/client.rs` to implement the typestate pattern for `GrancClient`, splitting logic into `with_server_reflection` and `with_file_descriptor` modules. Updated documentation comments to explain state transitions and usage.
* Simplified the `DynamicRequest` struct by removing the `file_descriptor_set` field, as schema resolution is now determined by the client's state rather than per-request.
**Documentation improvements:**
* Expanded and reorganized the main `README.md` to clearly explain new and existing features, including local introspection, command-line options, and usage examples for both server reflection and local file descriptor sets. The documentation now covers how to use introspection commands with and without server reflection, and provides concrete example commands and expected output.

* Updated the `granc-core/README.md` to document the typestate pattern of `GrancClient`, provide clear async/sync usage examples for both reflection and file descriptor modes, and clarify schema introspection methods.
This pull request removes the custom-generated gRPC reflection protocol code from the repository and switches to using the `tonic-reflection` crate’s built-in protocol definitions. It also cleans up related tooling and dependencies that are no longer needed.
### Migration to `tonic-reflection` for gRPC reflection
* Replaced internal generated protocol types in `granc-core/src/reflection/client.rs` with imports from `tonic_reflection::pb::v1`, removing the need for the local `generated` module. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-13deee04dd97de938cc46f0ef4faca083f3b471800e94cf45937122b83f01d57L19-L23) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-13deee04dd97de938cc46f0ef4faca083f3b471800e94cf45937122b83f01d57R29-R33)
* Deleted the `granc-core/src/reflection/generated.rs` module, which previously contained the generated Rust code for the reflection protocol.
* Removed the reflection proto file (`granc-tools/proto/reflection.proto`) and the `granc-tools` crate, including its build tooling and dependencies, as they are no longer needed.

### Dependency and configuration cleanup
* Updated `granc-core/Cargo.toml` to add `tonic-reflection` as a regular dependency (not just a dev-dependency) and removed the now-unnecessary dev-dependency.
### Codebase simplification
* Removed the now-unused `mod generated;` declaration from `granc-core/src/reflection.rs`.
This pull request introduces major improvements to the `granc` gRPC CLI, focusing on enhanced introspection and discovery features, a more user-friendly command-line interface, and improved error and output formatting. The changes include new commands for listing and describing services, methods, and messages, a restructured CLI argument parser, and a new formatter for colored, readable output. Additionally, the core client is extended to support these new features, and error handling is refactored for clarity.
**New CLI features and UX improvements:**
* Added new `list` and `describe` commands to the CLI, allowing users to discover available services and inspect service/message definitions directly from the server using reflection. The CLI argument structure is now subcommand-based for better usability.

**Output formatting and error handling:**
* Added a new `formatter` module for producing colored, human-friendly output for all major CLI operations, including pretty-printing of service lists, descriptors, and errors.
* Improved error handling throughout the client and CLI, with more specific error types and user-facing messages.

This pull request introduces a significant internal refactor of the `granc` project, decoupling core dynamic gRPC client logic into a new reusable library crate (`granc-core`). It also improves project organization, updates documentation, and enhances workspace configuration. The main CLI functionality is now built atop this new core, making future maintenance and extensibility easier.
**Project structure and workspace improvements:**
- Created a new crate, `granc-core`, to encapsulate all core dynamic gRPC client logic, including schema resolution, dynamic request dispatch, and reflection support. This enables potential reuse outside the CLI and clarifies project boundaries.

**Key changes:**
**1. Core library extraction and refactor**
- Moved dynamic gRPC client logic (including `GrancClient`, request/response types, and reflection handling) into a new `granc-core` crate, decoupling it from the CLI and preparing for independent publishing.
