Integrating Cargo.toml dependency packages

Integrating dependencies directly using add_requires("cargo::base64 0.13.0") above has a problem.

If there are a lot of dependencies and several dependencies all depend on the same child dependencies, then there will be a redefinition problem, so if we use the full Cargo.toml to manage the dependencies we won't have this problem.

For example

main.rs

Cargo.toml

Lua xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.release", "mode.debug")

add_requires("cargo::test", {configs = {cargo_toml = path.join(os.projectdir(), "Cargo.toml")}})

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/main.rs")
    add_packages("cargo::test")
