By introducing a small limitation: only allowing entries in the change
graph to be addressable, instead of individual operations; we
drastically simplify the CRDT implementation.
There are four advantages:
1. Op ids are just regular SHA-1s
2. There's no need for relative IDs, ops never refer to other ops within the
same commit
3. There's no need for a nonce, since commits can't collide, and neither can op IDs
4. `OpId` can just be an alias of `EntryId`
The disadvantage of course, is that we have to be mindful of how we
create op transactions, since each transaction creates an addressable
unit. For example, we must not include multiple patch revisions in the
same transaction.
It's fairly easy for a user to (by mistake or intentionally) create two
operations with the same OpId. This patch makes it much less likely,
and ensures that if the OpId is equal, it's because the operations
are identical.
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.
The olpc-json crate's CanonicalFormatter does not escape certain
control characters, including new lines. This means that when a COB
gets serialized that includes new lines, those new lines are
serialized verbatim. Upon deserialization `serde_json` -- and any
other JSON deserializer -- will fail due to the encounter of these
control characters.
This behaviour was prevented in radicle-link with the definition of
its own CanoncialFormatter that encodes the control characters
correctly.
Inline this definition of the formatter, under MIT license, to ensure
the correct and remove oplc-cjson.
The behaviour is checked using a multiline test in the issue COB.

Instead of showing just public keys we need to show the fully qualified
spec for a NID which is prefixed by `did🔑` While we want to maintain
`Author` and `ActorId` for internal use.
