Crate prisoner

An example game can be expressed using the library types:

let mut players = prisoner::make_players(args.players);
prisoner::play_game(&mut players, args.rounds.unwrap_or(1));
let output_table = Table::new(players)
    .with(Style::rounded())
    // .with(Modify::new(Rows::single(1)).with(Border::default().top('x')))
    .to_string();
print!("{}", output_table)

Providing more than one round initiates a “tournament”, where round-robin will occur per number of rounds.
