This PR introduces the ability to specify local "dev dependencies" (well-known from Cargo and npm) for a Vessel package.
Here's a concise explanation of dev dependencies from Rust by Example:
As a response to caffeinelabs/vscode-motoko#66, this feature would provide a simpler alternative to the
./vessel.dhall+test/vessel.dhallpattern used in various official and community repositories (e.g. motoko-base). The goal is to improve readability for both humans and development tools (especially IDE integrations).This PR also make it possible to omit fields in a
vessel.dhallmanifest. For instance, it's no longer necessary to write verbose default values such ascompiler = None Text, which I expect will be appreciated by the community. :)
