After writing this PR I'm instead though left with the question of "should we do this?" In my opinion we should update Rust via one of two mechanisms:

  1. Preemptively update when anyone has the time after a release is made
  2. Only update when a feature is desired from the new release

Personally I'm a fan of being in camp (1) but there's points to camp (2) as well. My worry about (2) is that it incentivises not updating and tends to encourage workarounds when there's typically no need to do so since practically everyone is running the latest stable anyway.

This PR updates Rust in CI to 1.72.0. Additionally this implements the outcome of the latest Wasmtime meeting's discussion about an MSRV policy which is to support the latest 3 releases of Rust. CI now primarily tests against the latest release of Rust but a single Linux x86_64 builder runs the full test suite on the minimum Rust version supported.
