New description:
At the moment, Tor's Travis CI runs on stable rust, and our Appveyor
(Windows) CI doesn't run rust at all (#26954).
But in our privcount_shamir work (#25669), we've discovered some important
bugs by running beta and nightly.
Since Rust releases every 6 weeks, we should run CI on rust stable and
beta, so that we catch any show-stoppers before they are stable.
We might also want to consider an allow_failures nightly build.
If we choose to support a lower version of rust than stable (when a major
distro freezes on a lower version), we should also CI that version.
