Description

actions-rs is archived and will stop working at some point when GitHub switches to node 16 for runners.

A better option would be to switch to dtolany/rust-toolchain, or just use the preinstalled rustup.

A lot of tools use https://github.com/Swatinem/rust-cache for cache now, this could replace that portion of actions-rs.

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's GitHub Actions workflows and every use of actions-rs. Compare replacing it with dtolnay/rust-toolchain or preinstalled rustup, and assess whether Swatinem/rust-cache covers the caching needs. Done means the workflows no longer depend on archived actions-rs and continue to run successfully.
