Allow configuring what package "v1.2.3" tags refer to #1095

In https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable I have started out tagging the versions of cargo auditable itself, but the project has since grown and gained several more binaries. So I have versions like v0.5.0 referring to cargo auditable, and everything else is prefixed, e.g. rust-audit-info/v0.5.4.

This naming scheme causes cargo dist to fail, necessitating workarounds. It detects several packages matching the version from a given tag (even only one package with 0.1.0 version exists on the commit with the 0.1.0 tag).

I cannot change the tagging format because several Linux distributions now rely on monitoring these tags to be informed about new releases. So I would like to configure cargo dist to treat versions such as v0.5.0 as always referring to the package I specify, namely "cargo-auditable".

This would unlock publishing the auxiliary tools such as rust-audit-info and auditable2cdx through cargo dist.

Oh this is a great idea yeah. Hmm I wonder if I can rope this in with other cleanups I'm doing around package selection in #1287.
