Force protobuf dependency < 3.20. (#5726)

The latest protobuf release is not backwards compatible with TensorFlow's protos and our copies of those protos in tensorboard/compat/proto . We knew this change was coming so, fortunately, TF had already fixed their dependencies to force a compatible version of protobuf. However, we also have to update our own requirements.txt to force the same version of protobuf, to unbreak the build when TensorFlow is not installed.
