This PR adds all the guides from [Visual Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the repository with proper links. - [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside `data/guides` and `data/categories` - [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using `scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme. - [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides sorting on production

gRPC is a high-performance, open-source universal RPC (Remote Procedure Call) framework initially developed by Google. It leverages HTTP/2 for transport, Protocol Buffers as the interface description language, and provides features such as authentication, load balancing, and more.
gRPC is designed to enable efficient and robust communication between services in a microservices architecture, making it a popular choice for building distributed systems and APIs.
Key Features of gRPC:
- Protocol Buffers: By default, gRPC uses Protocol Buffers (proto files) as its interface definition language (IDL). This makes gRPC messages smaller and faster compared to JSON or XML.
- HTTP/2 Based Transport: gRPC uses HTTP/2 for transport, which allows for many improvements over HTTP/1.x.
- Multiple Language Support: gRPC supports a wide range of programming languages.
- Bi-Directional Streaming: gRPC supports streaming requests and responses, allowing for the development of sophisticated real-time applications with bidirectional communication like chat services.
