Per this issue comment, the maintainer of cargo-auditable has published a new release (0.7.5) that includes the missing aarch64-unknown-linux-musl artifact, the lack of which was preventing us from enabling cargo-auditable in our dist process. Now that this is available, we can run cargo-auditable against all of our various platform binaries, thereby embedding an SBOM that security scanner tools can read.

Closes #27.

Enable cargo-dist's built-in cargo-auditable support so that release
artifacts embed dependency information (SBOM) directly into the
binaries. Downstream tools like `cargo audit bin` can then scan a
shipped binary against the exact dependency tree it was built from.

Bumps cargo-dist from 0.30.2 to 0.31.0 and regenerates release.yml.

Note: this depends on cargo-auditable publishing an
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl binary. The fix has been merged upstream
(rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable#250) but a release containing that
artifact has not yet been cut, so until then the aarch64-musl release
job will fail at the install step.

Closes #27.
Update to the latest cargo-dist (probably not needed but making sure to
stay up to date) and enable cargo-auditable now that it finally
publishes all needed architecture/platform combinations of its
artifacts.

See
<rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable#250 (comment)>
for the event that finally made this possible.
