Why does cargo-rpm scan for files in src/bin instead of reading the Cargo.toml spec?

[stevenroose]

Cargo.toml has these fields right?

[lib]
name = "hal"
path = "src/lib.rs"

[[bin]]
name = "hal"
path = "src/bin/hal/main.rs"

This information is typically inferred from the project structure.

As I suggested in #53, using cargo metadata (perhaps parsed via the cargo_metadata crate) for this allows us to source this information from cargo itself.

Note that #46 added an initial integration with cargo_metadata. That said, right now it's only used to locate the target/ directory.

However, it can also be used to introspect the targets for a particular package:

https://docs.rs/cargo_metadata/0.10.0/cargo_metadata/struct.Package.html#structfield.targets

To address this issue, the existing code that enumerates TargetType::MultiBin using fs::read_dir should be replaced by enumerating the cargo_metadata::Target entries for a particular cargo_metadata::Package.
