66eaf7bd2c Adds Radicle destination (#413)
* Adds Radicle destination

This destination allows mirroring repositories into the storage of a local
[Radicle](https://radicle.network) node.

Requires `git` + Radicle Command Line Interface (CLI) tools installed,
i.e. `rad` and `git-remote-rad` binaries. See https://radicle.network/install .

The repository is initialized with `rad init` on the first run and pushed
through the `git-remote-rad` helper afterwards, so the refs are signed with
the key of the Radicle profile.

Because every backup run works on a fresh temporary clone, each run has to
find the Repository ID (RID) created for an upstream on an earlier run:
every mirror records its upstream URL in a "dev.gickup" extension of the
signed Radicle identity document `payload`, and the storage is scanned for a
repository whose recorded source matches and whose refs are signed by this
profile's key — comparable to the existence lookups the forge destinations
make against their APIs, just against local storage. (Local-first, For The Win!)

Unlike other forge destinations we cannot use go-git for pushing,
because Radicle repositories are only reachable through the `git-remote-rad`
remote helper, which go-git does not support. All storage-touching
operations therefore shell out to the system `git` and `rad` binaries, so
identity creation and signed-refs handling stay inside the Radicle tooling.
