Description
For custom linking purposes, sometimes people need to know the hash used in std's filename. It was suggested that show hash could be used for this.
It's a real use case, but I'm not sure yet that it's rustup's job, or if it is that it shouldn't be folded into some other version-displaying function.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reviewing rustup's existing version-displaying commands and the proposed show hash interface, then determine whether this belongs in rustup or another toolchain command. Done means the ownership, command shape, and custom-linking output are explicitly decided.
