Description
Request to list all missing crates rather than exit on the first one.
A bespoke but not entirely unlikely use case:
As a company that has locally cached crates in a dir via some bespoke process. when the source code is updated and depends on different crate versions we run cargo check and get a the first missing crate/version. Then we repackage (somehow) to include that crate version, then we repeat until we have them all.
It would be nice if cargo listed all the missing crates/versions it needed but couldn't find before it exited.

Research direction
Start by tracing the cargo check entry point and how it reports the first missing crate or version. Determine where dependency resolution stops on a missing package, then add coverage showing that all missing crates and versions are reported before exit. Done means cargo check lists the complete set of unavailable dependencies.
