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.

- Updated workspace configuration in `Cargo.toml` to include `granc-core`, centralize dependency versions, and set workspace-wide package metadata for consistency. (`Cargo.toml`, [Cargo.tomlL2-R26](diffhunk://#diff-2e9d962a08321605940b5a657135052fbcef87b5e360662bb527c96d9a615542L2-R26))
- Adjusted `echo-service` and other crates to use workspace-wide settings for edition and authors. (`echo-service/Cargo.toml`, [echo-service/Cargo.tomlL3-R3](diffhunk://#diff-e74eb8a3bebf341a9bee1cdcd5cd3a50e15998db5a9df9eaf9e7aec341287b1eL3-R3))
**Documentation :**
- Added a detailed `README.md` for both the main project and the new `granc-core` library, providing clear installation, usage, and architecture guidance for users and contributors.

**Build and tooling updates:**
- Updated `Makefile.toml` to use workspace-wide test runs and renamed tasks/binaries for consistency with the new crate layout.

**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. [[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ddab7585cf4c860c9922ed56471bccf5804da60f0ccb174158fd31b9b82457abR1-R46) [[2]](diffhunk://#diff-46d757daaa6737f1a6247142e8abff1cb5079109e641c447e8a9793ea1f063adR1-R186)
**2. Workspace and dependency management**
- Updated the root `Cargo.toml` to add `granc-core` as a workspace member, centralize dependency versions, and set workspace-wide metadata fields (authors, edition, license, etc.).
- Adjusted `echo-service` and new crates to inherit workspace settings for consistency.
**3. Documentation**
- Updated and added comprehensive `README.md` files for both the main project and the new core library, with installation, usage, and architecture sections.

This refactor lays the groundwork for improved maintainability, easier future development, and potential wider adoption of the dynamic gRPC client logic outside the CLI.
This pull request introduces dynamic server reflection support to the `granc` CLI, allowing users to call gRPC services without needing a local descriptor file. The changes include new reflection client logic, CLI and core refactoring, an updated README, and build system improvements.
**Server Reflection Support:**
* Added a copy of the official `grpc.reflection.v1` proto file to `granc/proto/reflection.proto` to enable dynamic schema fetching from servers that support reflection.
* Implemented logic in the core orchestration layer (`granc/src/core.rs`) to resolve service descriptors either from a local file or dynamically via server reflection. The CLI now works seamlessly whether or not a `--proto-set` is provided.
**CLI and Core Refactoring:**
* Moved the CLI definition to `granc/src/cli.rs`, now supporting an optional `--proto-set`, improved endpoint parsing, and conversion to the new internal core `Input` type.
* Refactored the core logic into `granc/src/core.rs` and implemented a more structured input, output and error handling, now making the core logic unit testable.
**Documentation and Usability:**
* Updated `granc/README.md` to document the new server reflection feature, clarify usage with and without descriptor files, and revise CLI argument documentation and examples.

**Generating a reflection service:**
* Updated `granc/Cargo.toml` to add a `gen-proto` feature, declare both binaries (`granc` and `generate_reflection_service`), and manage dependencies for reflection and proto generation.
* Improved `Makefile.toml` with new tasks for generating the reflection service client.
