This allows us to fully use cxx-rs with `extern "C++"`. Now we do call back into the C/C++ today, but it only works outside of cargo/Rust's knowledge. Most notably, it means we can't use our C code in `cargo test`. And that's a problem for moving some C/C++ code to Rust, because we want to port the unit tests too. For now, re-declare our dependencies and part of the build system inside the Cargo build. However, this is also an important step towards using Cargo as our *sole* build system. We don't add build dependencies too often, so the short term duplication should be OK. However, a major unfortunate side effect of this is that we now need to serialize the build process; almost all the C/C++ comes first (`librpmostreeinternals.la`) and then the Rust build, then we finally generate the executable with both. The only way out of this really is to move more of the C/C++ build into Cargo, and we probably want to refactor into internal crates.
rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It combines libostree as a base image format, and accepts RPM on both the client and server side, sharing code with the dnf project; specifically libdnf. and thus bringing many of the benefits of both together.
