The previous chat example was created many moons ago and much has
happened since then. These are the key improvements for the new qtchat:
- Server uses the Callback API
- Added support for Registering (stored in plain text on server side)
- Use long-lived bidirectional streaming for the ChatRoom method
- Any files can now be shared in any size with all chat users
- Use the Grpc client from a dedicated worker thread to have lag-free
UIs
- Use the generated protobuf QML-library declaratively in the app
- stylistic improvements
- Use SSL for safe communication
- Automatic reconnections
This is an advanced example showcasing many features of this module.

Backport the simple chat example. The application implements a simple
messenger using Qt GRPC. It shows how to utilize the server-side
streaming and use the call-based user/password credentials.
