allow overriding dependency major version

currently there is no way in replace or patch to specify a _different_ version than the original dependency. with replace: ```toml [replace] "openssl:0.9.24" = {git = "https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl.git" ``` ``` error: no matching package for override `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index#openssl:0.9.24` found location searched: https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl.git version required: = 0.9.24 ``` with patch: ```toml [patch.crates-io] openssl = {git = "https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl.git"} ``` is simply ignored. ``` error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl v0.9.24` ``` With the complexity of packages growing, it is sometimes nessesary to override versions in Cargo.toml since upstream cant update the version yet if another dependency hasnt updated.
