buildRustPackage: add verifyCargoDeps option

One issue with cargoSha256 is that it's hard to detect when it needs to
be updated or not. It's possible to upgrade a package and forget to
update cargoSha256 and run with old versions of the program or
libraries.

This commit introduces `verifyCargoDeps` which, when enabled, will check
that the Cargo.lock is not out of date in the cargoDeps by comparing it
with the package source.

When `verifyCargoDeps` is set to `true`, the build will also verify that the
`cargoSha256` is not out of date by comparing the `Cargo.lock` file in both the `cargoDeps` and `src`. Note that this option changes the value of `cargoSha256` since it also copies the `Cargo.lock` in it. To avoid breaking backward-compatibility this option is not enabled by default but hopefully will be in the future.
