This permits `Cargo.toml` to include optional dependencies. On toolchains earlier than 1.31, the optional dependency syntax is not supported. With the MSRV at 1.31, any optional dependency may be supported even if *its* MSRV is higher than *our* MSRV since only users using a more recent toolchain will enable that dependency. In particular, this paves the way for adding an optional `zerocopy` dependency (prototyped in rust-lang#3407 and rust-lang#3914; see also google/zerocopy#557), which permits many uses of libc to no longer require `unsafe` code.

As mentioned in #3924 (comment), we can't take on new large features for 0.2. Thanks for the PR, but it is better to focus both author and reviewer effort for such things into something that targets |

This is not ready for merging until zerocopy publishes a stable 0.8 release (currently it only has 0.8 alpha releases). I'm putting this up now to test out CI and get the ball rolling in case there are fixes required.
