When Cargo looks at dependency semver strings, it treats strings with no operator as having an implicit leading caret. However, Dependabot seems not to treat it this way, leading to the problems I mentioned in #156.
This change adds an explicit caret to all of our implicit caret dependencies. I also went back and undid the recent Cargo.toml changes that Dependabot made. This change should be safe because we tested these versions a week ago (and this PR will test them again). The benefit is that it eases the constraint on consumers, since we accept a wider range of versions.
Going forward, the hope is that:
I'm not totally sure whether this will work. I'm going by a few data points from #156 and dependabot/dependabot-core#4009. But this is pretty low risk and easy to undo.
