I admit, I wasn’t feeling very inspired with coming up with a name, but I wanted
to avoid confusing it with the existing package-transitive-inputs procedure.

I wanted to reuse the core traversal/memoization that was defined in the 
original package-transitive-inputs procedure, but I can fork the implementation
as a private procedure in the cargo-build-system for now.

package-transitive-inputs captures all transitive propagated-inputs, but the
cargo-build-system needs all transitive propagated-inputs and regular inputs
as well (modeling cargo dependencies as propagated-inputs does not seem
appropriate).
