Fetching from git

Downloads fmt v7.1.3 from GitHub and links an example target to it:

[project]
name = "fetch-content"
description = "Fetching from git"

[fetch-content]
fmt = { git = "https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt", tag = "7.1.3" }

[target.example]
type = "executable"
sources = ["src/main.cpp"]
link-libraries = ["fmt::fmt"]

This is equivalent to calling CMake's FetchContent.
