package/grpc: remove obsolete patch to support cross-compiling

When cross-compiling grpc, a native tool 'grpc_cpp_plugin' is needed.
Patch '0001-target-build-using-host-plugin.patch' in Buildroot provides a
way to pass the path to this tool via a configure option
'gRPC_NATIVE_CPP_PLUGIN'.

In version 1.20.0, the upstream grpc project added better support for
cross-compiling via commit 0d7a0ded [1], searching for the native
grpc_cpp_plugin via PATH (rather than specifying it as configure option as
our patch was doing).

This change renders the mentioned Buildroot patch obsolete, so remove it.

-Subject: [PATCH] CMakeLists.txt: allow passing a pre-existing grpc_cpp_plugin
-
-The grpc_cpp_plugin is meant to be executed during the build process
-of grpc. As such, in cross-compilation contexts, this program needs to
-be built for the host machine and not the target machine. In order to
-allow this, this commit adds an option gRPC_NATIVE_CPP_PLUGIN that can
-be passed on the command line, with the path to an existing
-grpc_cpp_plugin binary. If not passed, grpc_cpp_plugin is built as
-usual.
