Problem: deep_space is not maintained

[thomas-nguy]

Currently the orchestrator code is using deep_space containing custom protobuf definition but it is lagging behind with cosmos-sdk and the official rust sdk (Cosmosrs)

Using Cosmrs directly can obviously work it’s just very verbose, though it may still be preferable to the very stale fork of deep_space we’re using. Tony Arcieri advises me frequently on Ocular and sees it as a development driver for cosmrs.

Lets give it a try and replace by Ocular which seems to be a wrapper of CosmosRs

I was trying to tackle this but it looks like one of the dependencies of ocular, i.e., hyperx has an upper bound on dependency versions (specifically bytes). There's an already open issue for this on their repository dekellum/hyperx#39. Looks like it'll be difficult to move to ocular until this is resolved.

Any other ideas @tomtau @thomas-nguy?

There's a PR to fix it on that repo, so perhaps for the moment, just use "replace" to use the fork instead of the crates.io version?
