## This PR
- Bumps the version of the Buf tool installed by Makefile to latest

### Related Issues
- Current version of Buf (1.6.0) can't parse some of the template YAMLs
from this repo; e.g. the `plugin` entry is [not
available](https://github.com/bufbuild/buf/blob/25520a3fb15c8fab140e76e7238e6ace8dac13d9/private/buf/bufgen/bufgen.go#L270-L277)
under `plugins`, in version 1.6.0

### How to test
Running `make gen-java` works on my machine after the version bump
