Description
It looks like some commands, like profile_local, use nightly cargo by default, instead of using the cargo of the profiled toolchain. We should change that.
Furthermore, when using rustup-toolchain-install-master, we don't download the cargo of the specified toolchain. We should do that, to avoid using a local cargo version unexpectedly.
