Apply various clarifications made after the fork.
The Remote Execution API is an API that, at its most general, allows clients to request execution of binaries on a remote system. It is intended primarily for use by build systems, such as Bazel, to distribute build and test actions through a worker pool, and also provide a central cache of build results. This allows builds to execute faster, both by reusing results already built by other clients and by allowing many actions to be executed in parallel, in excess of the resource limits of the machine running the build.
The APIs in this repository refer to several general-purpose APIs published by Google in the [Google APIs repository][https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis]. You will need to refer to packages from that repository in order to generate code using this API.
We currently do not have a build system in this repository. All the APIs are written in gRPC, and can be compiled to the language of your choice using the protobuf compiler.
