All dependencies that are dependencies of multiple crates within the
workspace were pulled up to the root `Cargo.toml`. Dependencies that are
dependencies of just one crate within the workspace remain in the
`*/Cargo.toml` of that particular crate.
Generally, this helps us keep an overview of dependencies:
- If multiple crates depend on a crate, we will see the reference to
the workspce.
- Otherwise, we will see a line that specifies the version.
It is up to the maintainers to recognize when a dependency becomes a
dependency of multiple crates in the workspace, at which point it should
be moved to the workspace.
The tool `cargo-autoinherit` can be used to automatically pull *ALL*
dependencies to the workspace. I used this, and in a separate, manual
step, filtered out those dependencies that are dependencies of a single
crate only, moving those back manually.
At the same time, I also unified depending on sibling crates in the
workspace. This is now also done via workspace dependencies.

Extracting JSON Schemas from the Radicle crate can be done via
`radicle-cli` for `radicle::profile::Config` by executing:
rad config schema
However, for other JSON Schema metadata, this is not possible.
To allow other tools to extract JSON schemas as part of their build
process, introduce a new crate that only depends on `radicle`,
`schemars`, and `serde`, with a tiny binary that will reproduce various
schemas.
