Motivation
There are still many Python packages around which stick with the old 3.20 protobuf version. However, this is typically the very last release of major version 3: 3.20.3. Unfortunately, mmdeploy enforces constraint of 3.20.2, which leads to unnecessary incompatibilities.
Modification
I propose to bump the patch version of protobuf to 3.20.3. This is very likely of no relevance to mmdeploy but makes cohabitation with many other packages possible.
