Cargo plugin to bump crate's versions and Git tag them for release

Crates.io Documentation Build Clippy Formatter

Cargo plugin to bump crate's versions and Git tag them for release.

"cargo tag" helps to automate the process of bumping versions similar to how "npm version" does.

When bumping versions with "cargo tag", the Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock files are updated with the new version, then a Git commit and a Git tag are both created.
