[request] Need an option to install CLIs by cargo binstall

Question you want answered

How do I get started as soon as possible?

Where did you look for an answer?

Additional context

when install create-tauri-app tauri-cli trunk, the cargo install is very slow.

Downloading
Building [=======================> ] 613/616: tauri-cli, tauri-utils
Building [=======================> ] 614/616: tauri-cli
Finished release profile [optimized] target(s) in 10m 56s

cargo binstall may be faster and then improve the user experience.

EDIT: when building trunk on windows, extra efforts maybe needed (to install openssl):

  It looks like you're compiling for MSVC but we couldn't detect an OpenSSL
  installation. If there isn't one installed then you can try the rust-openssl
  README for more information about how to download precompiled binaries of
  OpenSSL:

  https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl#windows

  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: failed to compile `trunk v0.21.2`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `E:\tmp\RUST_DIR\CARGO_TARGET_DIR`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

cargo binstall maybe help here (but I'm not sure).

Are you willing to work on this yourself?

tauri-cli has been available via binstall for a long time now. we should indeed add it to the docs though.

create-tauri-app should be easy to add binstall support since we're already building the binaries. If you want that, please request it here https://github.com/tauri-apps/create-tauri-app/issues

trunk isn't reallyyy our problem but it should also be available via binstall already
