Added basic history of the protocol package (#1984) 

'm trying to add more documentation to parts of the repo that I go into.

I feel this basic history will make it easier to understand why the protocol package is as big as it is compared to the other packages in the repo, and help in understanding its existence.

## History
Originally this package was a dedicated repo called `status-protocol-go` and [was migrated](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/1684) into `status-go`. The new `status-go/protocol` package maintained its own dependencies until [sub modules were removed](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/1835/files) and the root go.mod file managed all dependencies for the entire `status-go` repo.
