Fixes https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/16688 Since we use the local image server to show the community image, the URL never changes when we update the image, since it's served using a query string containing the community ID. eg: `https://Localhost:46739/communityDescriptionImages?communityID=0x03c5ece7da362d31199fb02d632f85fdf853af57d89c3204b4d1e90c6ec13bb23c&name=thumbnail` Because of that, the clients cannot know if the image was updated, so they had to force update the image every time, which was inefficient. We discovered this issue when I refactored the community client code in Desktop so that we only update the changed properties of a community instead of reseting the whole thing. The solution I came up with in the PR is to add a `version` to the URL when we detect that the image changed. This let's the clients detect when the image was updated without having to do any extra logic.
status-go/protocol
This is an implementation of the secure transport and payloads which are a part of the Status Client specification.
This implementation uses SQLite and SQLCipher for persistent storage.
The payloads are encoded using protocol-buffers.

History
Originally this package was a dedicated repo called status-protocol-go and was migrated into status-go. The new status-go/protocol package maintained its own dependencies until sub modules were removed and the root go.mod file managed all dependencies for the entire status-go repo.
