Description
We have some dependencies that we need to routinely update, but dependabot can't do them because they're not straightforward package things.
Primarily this includes:
- Rust toolchain updates (e.g. https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/2458)
- securedrop-builder updates (e.g. https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/commit/6c0a257df6e574a5f5b756db866197b482759eb6)
Infra has some new update tooling that we should be able to leverage for this purpose.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Rust toolchain update example in securedrop-client#2458 and the securedrop-builder update commit 6c0a257df6e574a5f5b756db866197b482759eb6. Then inspect the new update tooling from Infra and determine how it could cover these non-package dependencies. Done means routine updates for both targets are automated and the resulting changes can be verified.
