[Bug 1987515] [NEW] Add support for vendored build-dependency tracking

[Simon Chopin]

Public bug reported:

As part of the tentative MIR rules for Rust packages, we want to be able
to embed vendored sources in the packages. This implies that there
should be an easy way to divert the dh-cargo helper into using vendored
dependencies if available, and also add some metadata to easily know
which source package contains which vendored dependencies.

See https://github.com/cpaelzer/ubuntu-mir/pull/3 for some discussions
around the topic.
