Description

cargo-edit is pretty handy in CI contexts but compiling it each time can be a bit arduous.

It would be nice if cargo-edit supported using cargo-binstall via uploaded binaries to GitHub releases or similar. Being able to pull binaries directly would be much more handy for CI projects.

Research direction

Start by reviewing cargo-edit's current release and build setup alongside cargo-binstall's requirements for uploaded binaries. Determine which GitHub release artifacts are needed for CI installation. Done means cargo-binstall can install cargo-edit directly from a GitHub release and the release process supports that path.
