Request: Implement a rename_all = ... attribute for types

[phrohdoh]

💡 Feature description

Similar to serde's rename_all attribute, this would reformat all of the type's fields / variants for de/serialization to the format specified.

Individual field / variant rename must take precedence over rename_all.

Valid format values should be, at minimum:

• snake_case
• kebab-case
• camelCase
• PascalCase
• SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
• SCREAMING-KEBAB-CASE
• UPPERCASE
• lowercase

This rename_all attribute should probably be applicable to types and enum variants.

💻 Basic example

#[derive(Item, PartialEq, Debug, Clone)]
#[dynomite(rename_all = "kebab-case")]
struct Recipe {
    #[dynomite(partition_key]
    #[dynomite(rename = "recipe_id")]
    id: String,
    net_carbs: u64,
}

Should be serialized (to JSON just as an example) as:

{
    "recipe_id": "...",
    "net-carbs": 0
}

We should consider adding heck, an opinionated & non-customizable case-conversion 3rd-party library crate, as a dependency to the dynomite-derive crate to reduce rework and (potentially) simplify implementation (and testing!) of this feature (since it reformats the existing name, instead of providing a new name entirely).

[phrohdoh]

I've written code that makes the following test pass (using the heck crate, just an implementation detail though).
If there is any interest (not seeing any so far on the ticket; no thumbs-up etc),
I could continue working on the implementation I currently have.
Of course I prefer to not unnecessarily bloat dynomite.
