Feat/add rust toolchain (#1235)

* feature: update rust-toolchain

* add(ci): action that updates `rust-toolchain`

We purposefully keep our version a little behind the newest releases,
to give people the time to update. Now this is unambigious and we can
use all the features our current toolchain allows.
