Description
rust-analyzer version: v0.3.1549
rustc version: N/A
relevant settings: N/A
Using VSCodium with Open Remote - SSH extension and before installing rustup on the remote, attempting to use rust-analyzer results in an error that reports "no such file or directory" rather than indicating that cargo is not installed which appears to be the actual cause.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodium with Open Remote - SSH on a host without rustup or cargo installed, then trace rust-analyzer's startup error handling for the cargo invocation. Done means the remote setup reports that cargo is not installed instead of the misleading "no such file or directory" error.
