Provide a way to disable rewriting path Cargo dependencies into local_dependencies/ folder

[alex]

Right now if you have a { path = ... } dependency in Cargo.toml, maturin will rewrite it to live in local_dependencies/. I would like a way to disable this, and instead just handle things at their existing locations.

@messense has suggested that this might also fix #1442

In terms of how to implement it, I can imagine two approaches:

1. add a rewrite-path-dependencies = [true/false] option in pyproject.toml
2. If the dependency is already included via include in pyproject.toml, then leave it as-is.

I was thinking about adding a new "sdist generator".

The current one can be called cargo, and we can add a new one called git that generates sdist based on git ls-files with respect to include/exclude options of [tool.maturin].

What do you think?

That would work for me.
