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.

Comment (by teor):

 Correct privcount shamir ticket.
