This change limits the amount of `wants` and `haves` data that is sent
to the serving side of a fetch.
When a `RefsAt` announcement is sent, the fetching peer can calculate
the difference between the `rad/sigrefs` they're aware of -- if it
exists -- and the newly advertised `rad/sigrefs`. This means they can
efficiently ask for the `wants` and `haves` of references that have
changed -- saving some data sent over to the serving side.

Ref announcements contain the namespace (NID) and the SHA of the new
`rad/sigrefs`. This information can be used by the fetch protocol to
fetch only those `Oid`s for those namespaces.
Add a new stage `SigrefsAnnouncement` that captures this behaviour by
only asking for the advertised `Oid`s and updating the corresponding
`rad/sigrefs` for each namespace. Note that this is a special case of
the `SpecialRefs` stage and so the protocol chooses between these two
by checking if there was announcement passed through. The following
stage, `DataRefs`, stays the same.
Note that this stage can only be activated via a `pull`, and `clone`
stays the same.

The `radicle-fetch` crate introduces a method for fetching from a
server using Git protocol V2, which provides the implementation
control over performing a sequence of fetches and validation over
domain data.
The protocol is built on top of the suite of Gitoxide crates[[0]]. It
builds wrappers on top of Gitoxide's refdb, odb, and transport layers
-- as well as taking the ls-refs and fetch code straight from the code
base to simplify for the needs of this crate.
