Core

As of this version, gRPC on MacOS & iOS will utilize Abseil's synchronization features, aligning it with other platforms. Should you encounter any issues due to this update, you can disable it by enabling GPR_DISABLE_ABSEIL_SYNC. If you do this, please report any problems by filing a bug at https://github.com/grpc/grpc.
