Write manifest for MAJOR.MINOR channel to enable rustup convenience
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This connects to rust-lang/rustup#794.

It's hard to remember if there have been patch releases for old versions
when you'd like to install the latest in a MAJOR.MINOR series.

When we're doing a stable release, we write duplicate manifests to
`stable`. With this change, only when we're doing a stable release, also
write duplicate manifests to `MAJOR.MINOR` to eventually enable rustup
(and any other tooling that builds Rust release URLs) to request, say,
`1.45` and get `1.45.2` (assuming `1.45.2` is the latest available
`1.45` and assuming that we never publish patch releases out of order).
