Details

Description:

rustup should provide rust-nightly, as its aur rustup-git counterpart.

The reasoning is as follows. Certain packages, such as [artifact](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/artifact/) depend on nightly builds of rust, and should therefore be able to depend on rust-nightly.

Additional info:
* rustup 1.0.0-2 x86_64
This task depends upon

But it does not technically always provide it, only sometimes and when you choose to do so.

rustc nightly is a moving target so I can't see how a *package* can depend on it.

IMO packages shouldn't depend on rustup - they should depend on a specific rustc version (and so should not depend on rustup at all) otherwise, for example, you can't ensure a reproducible build.

I thought about this and I think it's fair given that it also provides 'rust' and 'cargo' but it might as well provide the nightly versions.
