Rust 1.26.1 point release

[emilyalbini]

Note: there is no decision on whether 1.26.1 should be released yet. This is just a wishlist.

There are a few bad bugs in the 1.26.0 release, and there is a discussion (#50646 (comment)) about making a point release with a few backports. This issue tracks the PRs we would like to backport, and if we should do the point release at all.

cc @rust-lang/release @rust-lang/core

• Filter out missing components from manifests #49705: Filter out missing components from manifests

I'd like to propose #50694 for an eventual point release, it makes impl Trait work with a bunch of common traits that have a Self default (impl PartialEq, impl Add, ...) rather than stack overflow.

It sounds like #50646 has already been fixed in the beta channel. Does the backport require a new PR?

[sanxiyn]

#49462 affects ARM as well as FreeBSD. I think the point release is warranted.

[smmalis37]

I'd like to strongly vote in favor of a point release containing the fix for #50646.

We should also backport #49523. Right now the distributed source of the 1.26.0 release artifacts don't contain release notes for the 1.26.0 release, which is bad.

We're getting quite a lot of reports of problems on the RLS repo, so I'd be in favour of a point release for the RLS. I'll put together a PR.

I'd also like to update rustfmt due to rust-lang/rustfmt#2695

I nominate #50811 to be included.
