Description

The docker image has a different use case than normal installations, mostly CI. And having rustfmt and clippy available by default would greatly ease their use in CI by having the necessary tools preinstalled and not requiring a network connection to install them for each CI job.

#37 was closed by reasoning that this is the responsible of rustup, but they closed it as responsible from docker-rust: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/1569#issuecomment-587753207. So I think it is time to reconsider including it in this repository again.
