Description

It would be nice to have:

* `--installer=cargo`(-install?)
* `--installer=cargo-binstall`

Which produce installer hints without any need for any physical artifact. This requires some way to tell the reader of the dist-manifest that no such artifact exists, only the hint/description.

Research direction

Start by tracing the installer options and dist-manifest handling mentioned in the issue. Define done as supporting cargo and cargo-binstall installer hints while clearly representing that no physical artifact exists, then verify both cases through the project's existing release or manifest checks.
