Description

In #1091 there was a clippy check that failed here: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/propolis/blob/2c9d7052cc12b3feca1c5a0e09d10b724b8e7cb4/xtask/src/task_clippy.rs#L46-L57

The less-expedient but more correct solution to fix this is to make propolis-client not re-export propolis-client. Unclear to me how much work that is, but filing for tracking.

Research direction

Start with xtask/src/task_clippy.rs lines 46-57 and the clippy failure referenced from issue #1091. Trace how propolis-client is re-exported and determine the scope of removing that re-export. The work is done when the clippy check passes with the more correct dependency structure.
