This function can be used to create an output path that is a cargo
vendor directory. In contrast to e.g. fetchCargoTarball all the
dependent crates are fetched using fixed-output derivations. The
hashes for the fixed-output derivations are gathered from the
Cargo.lock file.
Usage is very simple, e.g.:
importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
}
would use the lockfile from the current directory.
The implementation of this function is based on Eelco Dolstra's
import-cargo:

Compared to upstream:
- We use fetchgit in place of builtins.fetchGit.
- Sync to current cargo vendoring.
