Suggestion: Support Protocol Buffers

[execute-ord66]

Protocol Buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google (see). Transitioning dictionary data files from JSON to Protocol Buffers could enhance data handling and processing speed for both import and export tasks.

I don't think protobuf solves the current performance bottleneck that yomitan is experiencing. From our understanding the main performance bottleneck is IndexedDb slowness. I don't think that can be easily solved with protobuf.

That said, I'm willing to be convinced if you can create a prototype that uses protobuf and compare the performance characteristics of each serde
