3309: Find cargo toml up the fs r=matklad a=not-much-io

Currently rust-analyzer will look for Cargo.toml in the root of the project and if failing that then go down the filesystem until root.

This unfortunately wouldn't work automatically with (what I imagine is) a fairly common project structure. As an example with multiple languages like:
```
js/
  ..
rust/
  Cargo.toml
  ...
```

Added this small change so rust-analyzer would glance one level up if not found in root or down the filesystem.

## Why not go deeper?

Could be problematic with large project vendored dependencies etc.

## Why not add a Cargo.toml manual setting option?

Loosely related and a good idea, however the convenience of having this automated also is hard to pass up. 

## Testing?

Build a binary with various logs and checked it in a project with such a structure:

```
[ERROR ra_project_model] find_cargo_toml()
[ERROR ra_project_model] find_cargo_toml_up_the_fs()
[ERROR ra_project_model] entities: ReadDir("/workspaces/my-project")
[ERROR ra_project_model] candidate: "/workspaces/my-project/rust/Cargo.toml", exists: true
```

## Edge Cases?

If you have multiple Cargo.toml files one level deeper AND not in the root, will get whatever comes first (order undefined), example:
```
crate1/
    Cargo.toml
crate2/
     Cargo.toml
... (no root Cargo.toml)
```

However this is quite unusual and wouldn't have worked before either. This is only resolvable via manually choosing.

rust-analyzer logo

rust-analyzer is an experimental modular compiler frontend for the Rust language. It is a part of a larger rls-2.0 effort to create excellent IDE support for Rust. If you want to get involved, check the rls-2.0 working group:

Language Server Quick Start

rust-analyzer is a work-in-progress, so you might encounter critical bugs. That said, it is complete enough to provide a useful IDE experience and some people use it as a daily driver.

To build rust-analyzer, you need:

  • latest stable Rust for the language server itself
  • latest stable npm and VS Code for VS Code extension

To quickly install the rust-analyzer language server and VS Code extension with standard setup (code and cargo in $PATH, etc), use this:

# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer

# install both the language server and VS Code extension
$ cargo xtask install

# alternatively, install only the server. Binary name is `rust-analyzer`.
$ cargo xtask install --server

For non-standard setup of VS Code and other editors, or if the language server cannot start, see ./docs/user.

Documentation

If you want to contribute to rust-analyzer or are just curious about how things work under the hood, check the ./docs/dev folder.

If you want to use rust-analyzer's language server with your editor of choice, check ./docs/user folder. It also contains some tips & tricks to help you be more productive when using rust-analyzer.
