This allows applying the GrpcWebLayer to any kind of Service, not just ones that tonic generates.
Motivation
This makes it possible to use tonic-web as a grpc-web proxy to a gRPC server implemented in another language for example, I'm using it to proxy a Python gRPC service over grpc-web.
Solution
We have to be generic over the ResBody of the wrapped service and then box that into a
tonic::body::Body
. I've made the default values of the body type parameterstonic::body::Body
so I believe this change is backwards compatible.This is a redo of #1366
