This commit is an implementation of top-level overrides to be encoded into the manifest itself directly. This style of override is distinct from the existing `paths` support in `.cargo/config` in two important ways: * Top level overrides are intended to be checked in and shared amongst all developers of a project. * Top level overrides are reflected in `Cargo.lock`. The second point is crucially important here as it will ensure that an override on one machine behaves the same as an override on another machine. This solves many long-standing problems with `paths`-based overrides which suffer from some level of nondeterminism as they're not encoded. From a syntactical point of view, an override looks like: ```toml [replace] "libc:0.2.0" = { git = 'https://github.com/my-username/libc', branch = '0.2-fork' } ``` This declaration indicates that whenever resolution would otherwise encounter the `libc` package version 0.2.0 from crates.io, it should instead replace it with the custom git dependency on a specific branch. The key "libc:0.2.0" here is actually a package id specification which will allow selecting various components of a graph. For example the same named package coming from two distinct locations can be selected against, as well as multiple versions of one crate in a dependency graph. The replacement dependency has the same syntax as the `[dependencies]` section of Cargo.toml. One of the major uses of this syntax will be, for example, using a temporary fork of a crate while the changes are pushed upstream to the original repo. This will avoid the need to change the intermediate projects immediately, and over time once fixes have landed upstream the `[replace]` section in a `Cargo.toml` can be removed. There are also two crucial restrictions on overrides. * A crate with the name `foo` can only get overridden with packages also of the name `foo`. * A crate can only get overridden with a crate of the exact same version. A consequence of these restrictions is that crates.io cannot be used to replace anything from crates.io. There's only one version of something on crates.io, so there's nothing else to replace it with (name/version are a unique key). Closes rust-lang#942
