Eliminate superfluous features in a Rust workspace.

This tool checks that all workspace dependencies in Cargo.toml have

`default-features = false`. This is a best practice in repos that publish multiple independent

crates, to ensure that each individual crate has the minimal set of features they need.

This can improve build times for any consumers of these crates by avoiding

unnecessary features being enabled by default.

Install with:

```bash

cargo install cargo-ensure-no-default-features

```

And use with:

```bash

cargo ensure-no-default-features

```

The `--manifest-path` option lets you specify an explicit Cargo.toml file to check. Without this

option, it defaults to the Cargo.toml in the current directory.

The `--exceptions` (`-e`) option lets you specify a comma-separated list of dependencies to exclude from

the `default-features` check. This is useful for dependencies that you explicitly want to have

default features enabled.
