fe86023863 Parse hints permissively to allow for future expansion
Make it only a warning, not an error, to have a hint value of the wrong
type.

1921d097ca Add [hints] table in Cargo.toml, and a hints.mostly-unused hint
The `[hints]` table in a `Cargo.toml` manifest provides optional
information that Cargo can use for building the package, and will use
even when using the package as a dependency. All hints can be safely
ignored, and Cargo only warns about unknown hints, but does not error.
This allows packages to use hints without depending on new Cargo.

Add a `mostly-unused` hint, which allows a package to hint that most
users of the package will not use most of its items. This is useful for
improving the build performance of crates with large dependencies.

Crates can override this hint using `hint-mostly-unused = false` in
their profile for a dependency.

f415c112f9 Add additional tests for hints.mostly-unused (showing existing behavior)
These tests demonstrate the behavior of current Cargo, and will be
changed when adding `hints.mostly-unused` to reflect the new behavior.

a206766e43 Add initial version of hints tests, to show pre-[hints] Cargo behavior
These tests show what prior versions of Cargo will do with hints.
The subsequent addition of support for hints will modify these tests to
reflect the corresponding changes to Cargo.
