ArcticDB 4.4.2 imports incompatible version of protobuf

[nbtdev]

Describe the bug

I added the arcticdb module to my project settings in PyCharm, and simply importing the module produces the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked

    raise NotImplementedError(f"We only support protobuf versions 3 & 4. You have {_protobuf.__version__}")
NotImplementedError: We only support protobuf versions 3 & 4. You have 5.27.0

Rolling back to the latest 4.x (4.2.3) of protobuf works, so it seems that the arcticdb import should enforce this limitation if it's known in the code.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

import arcticdb as adb

No exception stack

OS, Python Version and ArcticDB Version

Python 3.10
ArcticDB 4.4.2

We do impose a constraint on protobuf, see here.

If I "force" the upgrade I see a warning:

We have issue #1422 for protobuf 5 support.

Does this answer your question @nbtdev ?
