Introducing Riff, a Nix-based tool for automatically providing external dependencies to Rust projects

  Discontinued Riff automatically provides external dependencies for Rust projects, with support for other languages coming soon.

  

We currently have a hard-coded [registry](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/riff/blob/main/registry/registry.json) of some known per-crate dependencies. But the goal is less to hard-code ever more dependencies and more to convince maintainers to explicitly [declare dependencies](https://github.com/determinateSystems/riff#how-to-declare-package-inputs) in their `Cargo.toml` under `package.metadata.riff`. Because Riff uses `cargo metadata` for the entirety of the crate dependency graph, explicit dependency declarations actually benefit downstream crates as well.

p.s. I'm not sure if it's mentioned much of anywhere, but it'd be neat if there was a way to figure out the appropriate cargo from a rust-toolchain/rust-toolchain.toml if present, ala https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay. Funnily enough 95% of my development time is in Rust, but I don't actually have it installed globally, fun times being a NixOS user. I'd definitely make the argument that cargo is an external dependency!
