rustPlatform.importCargoLock: init

This function can be used to create an output path that is a cargo
vendor directory. In contrast to e.g. fetchCargoTarball all the
dependent crates are fetched using fixed-output derivations. The
hashes for the fixed-output derivations are gathered from the
Cargo.lock file.

Usage is very simple, e.g.:

importCargoLock {
  lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
}

would use the lockfile from the current directory.

The implementation of this function is based on Eelco Dolstra's
import-cargo:

Compared to upstream:

- We use fetchgit in place of builtins.fetchGit.
- Sync to current cargo vendoring.

the `Cargo.lock`/`Cargo.toml` files need to be patched before
vendoring.
If a `Cargo.lock` file is available, you can alternatively use the
`importCargoLock` function. In contrast to `fetchCargoTarball`, this
function does not require a hash (unless git dependencies are used)
and fetches every dependency as a separate fixed-output derivation.
`importCargoLock` can be used as follows:
```
cargoDeps = rustPlatform.importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
};
```
If the `Cargo.lock` file includes git dependencies, then their output
hashes need to be specified since they are not available through the
lock file. For example:
```
cargoDeps = {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
outputHashes = {
"rand-0.8.3" = "0ya2hia3cn31qa8894s3av2s8j5bjwb6yq92k0jsnlx7jid0jwqa";
};
};
```
If you do not specify an output hash for a git dependency, building
`cargoDeps` will fail and inform you of which crate needs to be
added. To find the correct hash, you can first use `lib.fakeSha256` or
`lib.fakeHash` as a stub hash. Building `cargoDeps` will then inform
you of the correct hash.

`rustPlatform` provides the following hooks to automate Cargo builds:
