Source binaries

https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#source-code says

“Source code: Binaries + Signatures”

Source code is the opposite of binary. Use other words, so that no contradictions appear.

Transferred to the right repo. Want to open a PR?

I do not want to open a PR, since I am not sure that the source code can compiled without implicitly downloadig binaries.

It cannot, as rustc is a bootstrapping compiler, but if the archives there really just contain binaries that shouldn't matter (it should still not say "source code")

I believe the "Binaries" in "Binaries + Signatures" is referring to the tar file. Those files do contain the source code. I've changed it to "Archives" to help clarify that.
