Chore

• remove dashmap in favor of own sharded concurrent hashmap.
  This speeds up multi-threaded counting greatly, and despite it
  using shared memory which makes it quite wasteful, it is possible to
  outperform git with it if enough cores are thrown at the problem.

  Single-threaded performance is still lacking though, ultimately it needs
  caches to accelerate the counting stage to hopefully be competitive.

New Features

• add wasm feature toggle to allow compilation to wasm32-unknown-unknown

Bug Fixes

• note that crates have been renamed from git-* to gix-*.
  This also means that the git-* prefixed crates of the gitoxide project
  are effectively unmaintained.
  Use the crates with the gix-* prefix instead.

  If you were using git-repository, then gix is its substitute.

New Features (BREAKING)

• add wasm feature toggle to let parts of git-pack build on wasm32.
  It's a breaking change because we also start using the dep: syntax for declaring
  references to optional dependencies, which will prevent them from being automatically
  available as features.

  Besides that, it adds the wasm feature toggle to allow compiling to wasm32 targets.
