`:dep <crate name>` should use latest version of the crate #97

E.g. if you omit a version and such, it should automatically look up and use the latest version of the listed crate.

I don't think this is quite the same as having :dep crate_name be the same as :dep crate_name = "*", but maybe it would be for the way evcxr runs code.

Sounds like a nice ease-of-use thing. I'm not aware of any downsides to just treating it as = "*", but there could well be a downside I'm not aware of.
