Improved Repository Timings

There has been a huge improvement in initialising larger repositories. This was, unfortunately, due to libgit2 being a lot slower than git when performing file protocol push and fetches (thanks for creating an issue 10 years ago Linus).

Better `rad sync` Output

There has been a concerted effort to improve the fetching and announcing output when using rad sync. This also helped us improve rad clone which should not include many error messages, while also succeeding.

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes, as far as we are aware. Please report any issues via Radicle or message us on Zulip.

rad config schema for emitting a JSONSchema of the configuration
Better syntax highlighting

Avoiding obtaining a signer when it is not necessary
