MSI installer is missing clippy and rustfmt

[Hawk777]

I installed Rust 1.63.0 in Windows via the MSI installer. I enabled all optional features during the installation process. However, it seems that clippy and rustfmt are not available via the MSI installer. It seems that the MSI installer is oriented at development use and not just building existing Rust code from source for deployment (otherwise it wouldn’t include RLS, which is only useful for development), so there ought to be a way to get access to clippy and rustfmt through it—and one can’t just cargo install them, at least not clippy, because cargo install clippy reports that clippy is no longer available via crates.io.

Sorry if this is the wrong repo to report MSI installer issues; with 190 repos in the group, it can be hard to find the right one.

Hmm, there's code for clippy in dist.rs - not sure what's going wrong there, someone would need to investigate.

rust/src/bootstrap/dist.rs

Lines 1617 to 1633 in ed37111

	builder.run(
	Command::new(&heat)
	.current_dir(&exe)
	.arg("dir")
	.arg("clippy")
	.args(&heat_flags)
	.arg("-cg")
	.arg("ClippyGroup")
	.arg("-dr")
	.arg("Clippy")
	.arg("-var")
	.arg("var.ClippyDir")
	.arg("-out")
	.arg(exe.join("ClippyGroup.wxs"))
	.arg("-t")
	.arg(etc.join("msi/remove-duplicates.xsl")),
	);

Rustfmt does appear to just be omitted altogether, that should be a simple fix.

I see rustfmt is not called with prepare, but clippy is there:

            prepare("clippy");
            for tool in &["rust-demangler", "rust-analyzer", "miri"] {
                if built_tools.contains(tool) {
                    prepare(tool);
                }
            }
            if target.ends_with("windows-gnu") {
                prepare("rust-mingw");
            }

have a diff from cargo --list between rustup from installation and MSI installer:

9d8
<     clippy               Checks a package to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.
15d13
<     fmt                  Formats all bin and lib files of the current crate using rustfmt.
25d22
<     miri
46a44
>

seems miri also missing.
