Feat: Add Rust toolchain to windows-11-arm

[yorickdowne]

Type of issue

• Request for additional tools or software for an existing image.

Describe the issue

windows-11-arm runner currently does not come with the Rust toolchain pre-installed

In testing, that environment is supported and something like this can add Rust:

      - name: Install rustup (Windows 11 ARM64)
        shell: pwsh
        run: |
          Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe" -OutFile rustup-init.exe
          .\rustup-init.exe --default-toolchain none -y
          "$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\bin" | Out-File -Append -Encoding ascii $env:GITHUB_PATH
          "CARGO_HOME=$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo" | Out-File -Append -Encoding ascii $env:GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Install Rust (Windows 11 ARM64)
        shell: pwsh
        run: |
          rustup install stable
          rustup target add aarch64-pc-windows-msvc

Desired functionality

Have a Rust toolchain preinstalled in the windows-11-arm image

FYI, this also isn't listed in the "Omitted Software" part of the docs: https://github.com/actions/partner-runner-images/blob/main/images/arm-windows-11-image.md#omitted-software

Much better to simply add it though :-)

+1 Hit this while testing Arm runners in the Rust for Windows repository.

For anyone who wants to install rustup in bash before actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain, so there will be no more error rustup: command not found occurs in your GitHub Action experimental ARM64 runner. You can skip the step after the issue closed.

            - if: matrix.os == 'windows-11-arm'
              name: Install rustup on Windows ARM
              run: |
                  curl -LOs https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/aarch64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe
                  ./rustup-init.exe -y --default-toolchain none --no-modify-path
                  echo "$USERPROFILE/.cargo/bin" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"
            - uses: actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1

The just released actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain v1.12 includes Windows support and installs rustup and Rust for the Windows ARM images. It is no longer necessary to install rustup first.

Thank you for reporting this issue, we’ll be adding the rust toolchain to the next version of the windows runners image.

Is there any estimate you can share for when that will be? Thanks.
