Description
In cargo.toml you can specify dependencies in two different syntaxes. The first is
package="x.x.x"
The second, necessary if you need features, is
package={version="x.x.x", features=[]}
It would be convenient if we had an assist that would let us switch from the former to the latter, placing the cursor in the features array for immediate editing.

Research direction
Start with cargo.toml dependency handling and the existing assist entry points in rust-analyzer. Look for tests covering dependency syntax transformations. Done means converting a version-only dependency to the version-plus-features form and placing the cursor in the features array.
