The following scenario was noticed:
If a node has a `rad/id` that is behind the one it is fetching from,
where a delegate was added, then verification will fail since it will
not fetch the new delegate -- if the scope is set to `Followed`.
Irregardless if the `rad/id` is ahead or behind, the reference should
be fetched to use as the delegates anchor since it will tell the
fetching side which delegates in can fetch from the remote. If any of
those delegates are missing then the remote is indeed lying.
This is safe since the `refs/rad/id` reference is only updated by
computing the COB rather than setting the OID, so it will not update
through the fetch protocol itself.

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.
