This removes the dependancy on C leveldb and snappy.
It also takes care of fewer dependencies as they would
anyway not work on any non-Debian, non-Brew system.

The Protocol Buffer compiler supports generating a machine-readable
descriptor file encoded as a provided Protocol Buffer message type,
which can be used to decode messages that have been encoded with it
after-the-fact. The generated descriptor also bundles in dependent
message types.
We can use this to perform forensics on old Prometheus clients, if
necessary.
The curator doesn't do anything yet; rather, this is the type
definition including the anciliary testing scaffold.
Improve Makefile and Git developer experience.
The top-level Makefile was a bit overloaded in terms of generation of
assets and their management. This has been offloaded into separate
Makefiles.
The Git developer experience sucked due to lack of .gitignore
policies.
Also: Fix faulty skiplist naming from old merge.
