0.4.0 — MOBI and AZW books read without calibre, and a cover from Open Library

bookmeta reads MOBI 6, AZW and AZW3 from the MOBI header and its EXTH
records: title, authors, publisher, description, ISBN, subjects, date and
language, and the cover image the book carries (#1). EXTH 113 is filed by
its shape, an ASIN under asin and a calibre UUID under uuid. The EPUB
reader now keeps dc:description as well.

bibfetch fetches a book's cover from Open Library by ISBN, falling back to
the ISBN-10 form and then to the edition's own cover id, which a Record now
carries; `bibfetch cover` does the same from a terminal (#2). idnorm gains
ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 conversion.

Breaking:
- bookmeta::Metadata has two new public fields, description and cover, so
  a struct literal without `..` no longer compiles.
- bibfetch::Record has a new public field, cover_id.
- bibfetch::Error has a new variant, Invalid, so an exhaustive match
  without it no longer compiles.
- A bibfetch input file named `cover` is now read as the subcommand; pass
  it as ./cover.

+bibfetch cover 978-0-306-40615-7 -o cover.jpg
+```
+
+Fetches a book's cover from Open Library's covers store by its ISBN and
+writes the image. The thirteen-digit form is asked first and the ten-digit
+form second, because a book is often filed under only one of them; an ISBN
+whose check digit is wrong is asked about as written, since converting it
+would give another book's number. `--cover-id` names an Open Library cover id
+to ask by last, which is what the `cover_id` field of a lookup record holds:
+the first cover in Open Library's record of that edition, never the cover its
+index picked for the whole work, which is often another edition's. The cover
+id is asked only when every form of the ISBN asked was answered with no cover; if
+asking by ISBN failed, that failure is the result.
+
+What comes back is checked before it is written: a JPEG or PNG by its bytes
+as well as by what the server says, no larger than ten megabytes, reached in at
+most three redirects, each over HTTPS to `covers.openlibrary.org`,
+`archive.org` or a host under `archive.org`, and never to an address by number.
+One request is made at a time, a `429` or `503` is waited out for as long as
+its `Retry-After` says, up to a minute, and the whole fetch, every attempt and
+redirect included, stops after two minutes. The two minutes start once it is
+the fetch's turn, so a fetch queued behind others in the same process can wait
+that long again first.
+
+| Option | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `-o`, `--output <FILE>` | Where to write the image |
+| `--size <SIZE>` | `small`, `medium` or `large`. Default `large` |
+| `--cover-id <ID>` | An Open Library cover id to ask by when the ISBN has none |

+Exit `0` the cover was written, `1` Open Library has none, `65` the argument
+was not an ISBN or the answer was not an image, `69` Open Library could not be
+reached, `74` the file could not be written.
+
+From Rust, `bibfetch::cover(&agent, isbn, cover_id, size)` returns
+`Ok(None)` when there is no cover, and a [`Cover`](src/cover.rs) with the
+bytes, the media type and the address asked when there is.
