Description
I used to have a function in my shell that shows when the current directory is running on a multirust toolchain other than stable. The current formatting is making the port to rustup.rs difficult. An option to generate machine-readable output (preferably JSON) on relevant commands like rustup show and rustup override list would be great.

Research direction
Start by examining the output paths for rustup show and rustup override list, focusing on which information is needed to identify non-stable toolchains and directory overrides. Define a consistent machine-readable, preferably JSON, representation for the relevant commands and verify that existing human-readable output remains usable.
