Ed Page 5c87c14f9a docs: Declare support level for each crate in our Charter / docs
This is to bring us into conformance with the [Rust crate ownership
policy](https://forge.rust-lang.org/policies/crate-ownership.html).

Items of note
- `cargo-credential-1password` is declared as Experimental as it is
  intended for the community but I was unsure if we wanted to commit to
  full support for it.  In my mind, the ideal thing to do would be to
  expatriate this to 1password.
- `home` is declared as Internal despite its wide use within the
  ecosystem.
- `cargo-credential` is declared as Intentional as its an API intended
  for the wider ecosystem and I didn't see a reason to declare it
  experimental.
- `cargo-platform`, `cargo-util-schemas`, and `crates-io` are declared
  as Intentional as they are both used internally and intended for
  others to use for logic that integrates with cargo/registries.
  I wondered about these being Experimental or Internal instead.

cargo-credential

This package is a library to assist writing a Cargo credential helper, which provides an interface to store tokens for authorizing access to a registry such as https://crates.io/.

Documentation about credential processes may be found at https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/credential-provider-protocol.html

Example implementations may be found at https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/tree/master/credential

This crate is maintained by the Cargo team for use by the wider ecosystem. This crate follows semver compatibility for its APIs.

Usage

Create a Cargo project with this as a dependency:

# Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
cargo-credential = "0.4"

And then include a main.rs binary which implements the Credential trait, and calls the main function which will call the appropriate method of the trait:

// src/main.rs

use cargo_credential::{Credential, Error};

struct MyCredential;

impl Credential for MyCredential {
    /// implement trait methods here...
}

fn main() {
    cargo_credential::main(MyCredential);
}
