Allow `+toolchain` for rustup

[tbu-]

It was surprising to me that I couldn't use the +nightly parameter on rustup for adding the wasm32-unknown-unknown target to nightly:

rustup +nightly target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

(and other combinations didn't work either). Instead I had to find the --toolchain parameter of rustup target add. It would be nice if +nightly would work on rustup, too.

CC #1489.

In addition to +nightly all of theese should also work:

• rustup --toolchain=nightly target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
• rustup target --toolchain=nightly add wasm32-unknown-unknown

Also rustup target --help should mention --toolchain somewhere.

I would like to do this. I noticed that cargo does not explicitly parse this but instead passes this to rustc to handle it. Should we check it on rustup side with internal function to list toolchains?

Hi @pickfire, friendly note that from this comment from #1489, I started working on the 2nd PR for +foo variant in the same scope of #2031. Should be able to push an update later today for +foo variant.

@BeniCheni Yeah, but that's just for which right? I want to help out on this too.

@pickfire, from this comment from #1489:

and then have #1498 provide the +foo variant.

I'm interested in trying out. ...

From my comment there, I indicated my interest in working on #1498 here. But I'm happy to share, if you want to try out a PR for #1498 here.

Let me know if you are committed to this issue. If yes, I can check out other open issues. If no, I will continue to pick up this issue, since #2031 is in final shape.
