GitHub action for installing Cargo packages

GitHub action for installing Cargo packages

This action provides a simple way to install Cargo packages using cargo binstall. cargo binstall allows us to speed up our CI by using binary packages where available, rather than compiling everything from source.

This is useful for installing tools such as Tarpaulin, sccache, or any other Rust package that's supported by cargo binstall in your GitHub Actions.

You can use this action in your workflow directly, or use the all-in-one action for all your Rust CI needs. While this action is intended to be used with Rust projects, it's also useful on its own for non-Rust projects (for example, to use sccache with C++).
