Parsers and editors for deb822 style files

This crate contains parsers and editors for RFC822 style file as used in Debian.

Four related crates that build on this one are:

debian-control: A parser and editor for Debian control files, apt lists.
debian-copyright: A parser and editor for Debian copyright files.
dep3: A parser and editor for Debian DEP-3 headers.
r-description: A parser and editor for R DESCRIPTION files.

Example

use deb822_lossless::Deb822;
use std::str::FromStr;

let input = r#"Package: deb822-lossless
Maintainer: Jelmer Vernooĳ <jelmer@debian.org>
Section: rust

Package: deb822-lossless
Architecture: any
Description: Lossless parser for deb822 style files.
  This parser can be used to parse files in the deb822 format, while preserving
  all whitespace and comments. It is based on the [rowan] library, which is a
  lossless parser library for Rust.

"#;

let deb822 = Deb822::from_str(input).unwrap();
assert_eq!(deb822.paragraphs().count(), 2);

A derive-macro is also provided for easily defining more Deb822-derived types:

use deb822_lossless::{FromDeb822, ToDeb822};

#[derive(FromDeb822, ToDeb822, Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Test {
    package: String,
    architecture: Option<String>,

    #[deb822(key = "Description")]
    description: String,
}

let input = r#"Package: deb822-lossless

let parser: Paragraph = input.parse().unwrap();
let test: Test = parser.into();

assert_eq!(test.package, "deb822-lossless");
