Cargo chapter tracking issue

[mark-i-m]

This is a tracking issue for the various parts of the cargo chapter. I think I have a recent start, but there are some things that I don't have experience/knowledge of... Here is a checklist from @steveklabnik 's comment here.

• cargo build Add a chapter on Cargo #949
• basic conventions of the top-level directories Add a chapter on Cargo #949
• dependencies
  • crates.io and deps for it Add a chapter on Cargo #949
  • git deps Add a chapter on Cargo #949
  • path deps Add a chapter on Cargo #949
  • override and patch or whatever the latest way to do this is, I forget which one
• workspaces
• profiles
• the -sys crate convention from a usage perspective, which leads you into:
• build scripts

@marioidival Perhaps add the "help wanted" tag to this issue? I'm not knowledgeable enough to do the rest...

@mark-i-m that label (enhancement) means the same thing...

to do: Add edition="2018" to https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/cargo/deps.html
