1. cargo: allow dashes in lib.name …

   Change the cargo TOML parser to allow dashes in `lib.name`.
   
   Cargo currently refuses explicit library names if they contain a dash.
   However, if no library name is specified, the package-name will be used,
   which itself can contain dashes. This leads to packages with `lib.name`
   containing dashes, if their package-name contains dashes.
   
   Drop this requirement and allow explicit `lib.name` configurations to
   contain dashes.
   
   The current ecosystem clearly allows `lib.name` to contain dashes,
   given that `cargo metadata` already reports such names for any package
   with a dash. It looks like an oversight that any explicit configuration
   is not allowed to include dashes.
   
   All consumers of `lib.name` already use `Target.crate_name()` rather
   than `Target.name()` if a sanitized name is required. Therefore, they
   already replace dashes with underscores.
   
   Last but not least, the current documentation is simply wrong in stating
   that `lib.name` defaults to the package-name with dashes replaced by
   underscores. Cargo never replaces dashes for `lib.name`, and `cargo
   metadata` and friends already happily show `lib.name` with dashes. Cargo
   merely replaces dashes with underscores to retrieve the crate-name of a
   target, which is then used as stem for library artifacts.
