Description
When working with RTFM, rust-analyzer constantly complains it can't find crate for 'test', since there is no std available for this target architecture. cargo check is always called with -all-targets, but I would like to call it with just --bins for this project.

Research direction
Start by tracing the rust-analyzer entry point that invokes cargo check with -all-targets and inspect how cargo options are configured. Done means a project can select --bins instead of always using --all-targets, avoiding the reported missing-test-crate diagnostic for the target architecture.
