[packman] Packman: Handbrake dovi Support

[Andrei Dziahel]

Hey Manfred,

I'm a maintainer of a couple of packages of software written in Rust, and
while yes, you do have to have the tarball with all the Rust dependencies
around, with cargo_vendor source service it is quite trivial to produce and
update. Case in point:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:scm/mergiraf (see .spec
and _service files) for reference.

Hope that helps!
