cargo audit fix subcommand

This tool supports an experimental feature to automatically update Cargo.toml to fix vulnerable dependency requirements.

To enable it, install cargo audit with the fix feature enabled:

$ cargo install cargo-audit --features=fix

Once installed, run cargo audit fix to automatically fix vulnerable dependency requirements:

This will modify Cargo.toml in place. To perform a dry run instead, which shows a preview of what dependencies would be upgraded, run cargo audit fix --dry-run.
