Giving a link to crates.io/crates/<CRATE> after cargo publish

[blyxyas]

A lot of people want to check that their crate was published successfully after running cargo publish. It would be really handy if after a successful publishing process, Cargo printed the URL for checking your crate.

Maybe something like:

$ cargo publish
    [...]
    Updating crates.io index

Your crate was successfully published to crates.io! Check it at https://crates.io/crates/<CRATE>.

$

_{(Where <CRATE> gets replaced with the published crate)}
This takes advantage of the URL recognition that some terminal emulators have, and it's a nice touch for first-time publishers.

This feels like it belongs in the cargo repo. Can you open an issue there to discuss the idea?

Issue opened at rust-lang/cargo#11768; should I close this discussion then?
