Issue

Hi! I can't seem to find documentation on the all the available options for a Poetry dependency. It'd be great to have a schema somewhere in the documentation.

For example, platform (added in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/commit/20c87bc0e32d26f406576b9819b4078e80ab79d9) is not included in the dependency specification page and is not PEP-0508 compliant so users and consumers (e.g. https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm/issues/1384) do not know what fields can be used.

https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification seems like the relevant page to add this information

Related to https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/738, https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/1207
