I intend this to become the main form of caching for puffin: You can
make http requests, you tranform the data to what you really need, you
have control over the cache key, and the cache is always json (or
anything else much faster we want to replace it with as long as it's
serde!)
In the resolver, our current model for solving URL dependencies requires
that we visit the URL dependency _before_ the registry-based dependency.
This PR encodes a strict requirement that all URL dependencies be
declared upfront, either as requirements or constraints.
I wrote more about how it works and why it's necessary in documentation
[here](https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/319/files#diff-2b1c4f36af0c62a2b7bebeae9473ae083588f2a6b18a3ec52393a24266adecbbR20).
I think we could relax this constraint over time, but it requires a more
sophisticated model -- and for now, I just want something that's (1)
correct, (2) easy for us to reason about, and (3) easy for users to
reason about.
As additional motivation... allowing arbitrary URL dependencies anywhere
in the tree creates some really confusing situations in which I'm not
even sure what the right answers are. For example, assume you declare a
direct dependency on `Werkzeug==2.0.0`. You then depend on a version of
Flask that depends on a version of `Werkzeug` from some arbitrary URL.
You build the source distribution at that arbitrary URL, and it turns
out it _does_ build to a declared version of 2.0.0. What should happen?
(And if it resolves to a version that _isn't_ 2.0.0, what should happen
_then_?) I suspect different tools handle this differently, but it must
lead to a lot of "silent" failures. In my testing of Poetry, it seems
like Poetry just ignores the URL dependency, which seems wrong, but is
also a behavior we could implement in the future.

Ensures that if we need to access the same Git repo twice in a
resolution, we only have one handler to that repo at a time. (Otherwise,
`git2` panics.)
