📄 Description

Hello! This PR enables cargo-binstall to find release builds for the project on github. It uses a heuristic for finding release packages, which assumes the crate name and release package name are the same. This adds metadata to Cargo.toml to provide the correct name for the github releases and binary name.

I have tested this locally with

cargo binstall --manifest-path Cargo.toml --disable-strategies quick-install du-dust

which results in it correctly finding https://github.com/bootandy/dust/releases/download/v0.8.5/dust-v0.8.5-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
