Introduces a new COB type to store repository identity documents.
The reason for this change is to:
1. Simplify the code, as the identity document logic resembled a COB,
yet it had custom logic. This allows existing COB code to be used for
identities.
2. Make identity document update logic more flexible, since COB actions
can be added in the future.
3. Re-purpose existing tools around COBs to work on identities, eg. `rad
cob`.
4. Unify the concept of an identity change proposal, with regular identity
changes. This means we can remove the `id.proposal` COB in favor of
using the `id` COB itself.
Notes
-----
* Each repository has one Identity COB.
* The `Proposal` COB has been repurposed into the `Identity` COB.
* Identity documents are stored as *embeds* inside the Identity COB
actions.
* The action that contains new document versions is called `revision`,
just like the Patches COB.
* The namespaced `rad/id` ref is a symbolic reference to that Identity
COB.
* The canonical `rad/id` ref is a direct reference to the commit in the
Identity COB that contains the latest *accepted* revision of the
document.
* All commands for managing identities have been folded into `rad id`.
Hence `rad delegate` and `rad edit` are removed.
* The concept of "rebasing" an identity document is gone.
* The `rad id` output has been updated to match the style of other
commands.
* When a revision has enough signatures, it is automatically adopted as
the current identity, there is no longer the need for a "commit"
action.
* When an identity revision is proposed, and the current identity has a
threshold of `1`, that identity is automatically accepted due to the
above point.
* The idea of "verifying a peer's identity branch" no longer applies, as
COBs cannot be verified one history at a time.
* Since the root commit of the Identity COB does not have a "Resource"
to point to (it would have to point to itself, which is impossible),
we've made the resource id optional for COBs.
This is a fairly substantial change, which adds a new configuration file
to the user's `$RAD_HOME` that includes node configuration, including
the alias, and also makes node aliases required.
When running `rad auth`, the user is now prompted for an alias, which
defaults to `$USER`.
When running `rad self`, the alias is now shown.
If the user runs radicle without a config file, the defaults are loaded,
and `$USER` is used as the alias.
We consolidate the setup done by `rad checkout`, `rad clone` and `rad
remote add`, so that they all check for node aliases, and are all
capable of setting up tracking branches etc.
Before this change, the identity document would be loaded for the
COB signer. This meant that a fork would be needed for that signer.
After this change, it's no longer necessary, since the identity doc
head is computed from available remotes.
While making those changes, it was also apparent that some of the
identity-related functions had bad names and error types, this
was fixed as well.
Improvements to the CLI output as well as converging towards
`termion` as a backend.
The crates we were using for prompting and spinners were based on
a terminal backend called `console`, which is not really used
anywhere else. There were also limitations in terms of the output
of these crates.
Therefore, we switched to the `inquire` crate for prompting, using
the `termion` backend, which is very standard.
Additionally, we simplify the terminal output to use symbols:
! for Warning
✓ for Success
✗ for Error
... Instead of a mix of words and symbols.
We also include a modified version of the `yansi` crate which plays
well with our table formatting functions by automatically truncating
and padding output in a unicode-aware way.
Adds helper for parsing the Id type in CLI arguments.

The `validate` method of `Project` was unused, which is problematic if
the attributes are supposed to be validated based on some
constraints. The issue is that `Project` provided public construction
of its fields with enforcing validation.
This change makes `Project`'s attributes private and introduces a
smart constructor `new` which is fallible if any of the constraints
are not met. The error type was changed to be a vector of errors since
all of these errors can be collected for better error reporting.
Deserialization also provided a way of constructing a `Project`
without ensuring any of the constraints were checked. To prevent this
a hand-rolled `Deserialize` is provided that goes through
`Project::new`.
To access the fields of `Project`, accessor functions are added and
all call sites are updated to use them.

We are working on other mechanisms to help identify keys, and this
is just redundant.
Also update some of the CLI examples to create a canonical example
for documentation.
