Thank you.

You reverted 100+ commits but only one of them is problematic. Could you
unrevert them barring ad1e8a0906cca4f5c2fd18534a935a375161e608?

IIUC, a safe solution would be to exceptionally provide both
rust-dav1d-sys 0.3.2 (for rav1e) and 0.3.4 (for nushell), the latter
being called rust-dav1d-sys-0.3.

With this we do not have to bother updating rav1e yet.

WDYT?
