The crypto types are useful to use in other components that are
separate from the radicle crate, e.g. the incoming radicle-cobs
crate.
Separate out the types into a radicle-crypto crate. This crate defines
the usual PublicKey, SecretKey, and Signature types. It also provides
the ssh functionality, under the `ssh` feature. It is also necessary
to provide the `From` impl for `Component` here, which again is
guarded by the `git-ref-format` feature.
The `Arbitrary` implementation are moved. The arbitrary decision of
redefining `ByteArray` in both radicle-crypto and radicle was made.

The previous iteration of the storage layout for projects organised
peer's subtrees by the `refs/remotes` category. This layout leads to
problems when linking a working copy to the storage project. The fetch
refspec would look something like:
fetch = +refs/remotes/abc/heads/*:refs/remotes/rad/*
This works perfectly fine when running:
git fetch rad
but will fail when one tries to specify:
git fetch rad main
Instead, the command would need to be:
git fetch remotes/abc/heads/main
This patch proposes to move the use of `refs/namespaces` for each
peer. The layout looks similar in that each peer has a subtree, but
instead it is under `refs/namespaces/<peer>/refs/...`.
The previous refspec would look more familiar in its new form:
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/rad/*
With this in place running:
git --namespace=abc rad main
Will work as expected and place the reference under
`refs/remotes/rad/main`. Similary, `git --namespace=abc push` will
work as expected.
Another benefit of this approach is that the use of namespacing means
that a tag is pushed it will be placed under the respective namespace
rather than in the global `refs/tags` category.
The actual implementation needed to work around the fact that
`git2`/`libgit2` does not have any options for fetching or pushing
using namespaces. The working copy code uses processes to shell out to
`git` for namespacing needs.
