About the build of Adlik cpp client

1. Build the cpp_client with bazel. The build process in this way relies on Adlik.

   First, install bazel and some packages needed for building, refer to Adlik Build.

   Then, build cpp_client.

   cd Adlik
   bazel build //adlik_serving/clients/cpp:cpp_client -c opt

2. Build the cpp_client with cmake. The method can be built separately with minimal dependencies.

   First, install grpc. Among them, the protobuf version is required to be 3.9.2, and the cmake version>=3.13.

   Then, Compile and generate Adlik C++ grpc client source files.

   cd Adlik/adlik_serving/clients
   protoc --proto_path=cpp --cpp_out=cpp cpp/adlik_serving/apis/*.proto cpp/tensorflow/core/framework/*.proto cpp/adlik_serving/framework/domain/*.proto
   protoc --proto_path=cpp --grpc_out=cpp --plugin protoc-gen-grpc=`which grpc_cpp_plugin` cpp/adlik_serving/apis/*.
   proto cpp/tensorflow/core/framework/*.proto cpp/adlik_serving/framework/domain/*.proto

   Last, build cpp_client.

   cd cpp
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake ..
   make
