   Description     : Deserialize CBOR and/or do CDDL schema validation

CDDL is a schema language for the CBOR serialization format. pycddl 
allows one to validate CBOR documents match a particular CDDL schema, 
based on the Rust cddl library. Optionally, it can decode CBOR documents.

python-pycddl is a new dependency of tahoe-lafs. It has parts written in 
Rust. I have no knowledge of Rust packaging thus it would be great if 
someone could help. Thus I am CCing Rust team via X-Debbugs-CC.
