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 `git-ref-format`[0] and `radicle-git-ext`[1] crates are now
published to crates.io.
Switch the dependency to rely on them. This also required to update
the `git2` dependency to `0.15.0` as well as using the
`vendored-libgit2` feature -- avoiding the openssl dependency too.

To build an address book, peers communicate via gossip, sending
`NodeAnnouncement` messages.
These need to be handled by storing the addresses in an address book
and the addresses need to be persisted to disk.
Node announcement messages should also be relayed to peers like other
gossip messages.
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.
