Description

Right now we set crate MSRV manually in CI configs and use common Cargo.lock.

Instead we should retrieve rust-version from the tested crate's Cargo.toml and generate MSRV-compatible Cargo.lock.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current CI configs that set MSRV manually and use the shared Cargo.lock, then inspect each tested crate's Cargo.toml for its rust-version. The work is done when the CI job derives the MSRV from the crate and generates a compatible Cargo.lock for testing.
