[Backport release-23.11]: cargo-* tools updates

[matthiasbeyer]

Description of changes

Now that #298206 is landed, we have a new-enough rustc on release-23.11 to be able to compile these updates. Some backports failed before because rustc was too old on the release channel, but after above PR landed, these should all go through.

This backports cargo-* binaries up to current master (a986eec) to the release-23.11 branch.

All commits here are cherry-pick -xsed.

I will run this PR now through nixpkgs-review, which might take a while.

Meh, I didn't notice that the aforementioned PR actually does not update the rustc version on stable, but only introduce a new attribute for the newer rust infra.

I am not sure whether we want to introduce patches only on the release-23.11 branch just to make some of the packages from this PR compile with another rust infra than on master.
I suppose not, so I think I will rebase this PR shortly to remove all patches that touch packages that do not build.

Sorry for the confusion here.

[matthiasbeyer]

Uh, ofborg thinks this is large. So I guess I will also rebase this to the staging-23.11 branch.

Okay, I removed all commits that touched attributes that do not build with the older rustc.

I am not 100% sure how to do a proper rebase against staging-23.11 here without accidentially notifying a lot of people,... should I simply close this PR and open a new one against staging-23.11 with the rebased commits?

Also, please review. (nixpkgs-review running, should post shortly).

All changed packages built for me, and I tested cargo-llvm-cov against a project and it worked fine.

[matthiasbeyer]

I'll merge them, as stable maintainers seem to be unresponsive.
