Lorenz Leutgeb 5bc2dc677b repo: Move workspace crates into crates subdirectory
This keeps the top level of the repo cleaner, e.g.
<https://github.com/radicle-dev/heartwood> scrolls less and
<https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/rosa.radicle.xyz/rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5/>
might show more files at the top level.

This way we also don't have to explicitly name all crates in
`Cargo.toml`.

We can specify where a repository gets cloned into on our filesystem by specifying the directory in the rad clone command:

$ rad clone rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji --scope followed Developer/Radicle
✓ Seeding policy updated for rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji with scope 'followed'
Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from the network, found 1 potential seed(s).
✓ Target met: 1 seed(s)
✓ Creating checkout in ./Developer/Radicle..
✓ Remote alice@z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi added
✓ Remote-tracking branch alice@z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi/master created for z6MknSL…StBU8Vi

Run `cd [..]/Developer/Radicle` to go to the repository directory.

Note that attempting to clone into a directory that already exists, and is not empty, will fail:

$ rad clone rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji --scope followed Developer/Radicle
✗ Error: refusing to checkout repository to Developer/Radicle, since it already exists
✗ Hint: try `rad checkout rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji` in a new directory
✗ Error: failed to clone rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji
