Panic building a crate without a cargo.toml

[jyn514]

How could crates not have a cargo.toml and still be published to crates.io ???

It has cargo.toml instead, only way I can think of this happening is it was published by something other than cargo, and crates.io doesn't actually validate the content of the crate archive (or that validation is lacking compared to what cargo does).

[Nemo157]

Ohhhhh, case-insensitive filesystem maybe? Probably needs a cargo bug ticket.

[pietroalbini]

I think we can change rustwide to rename cargo.toml to Cargo.toml if the latter is missing.

[Nemo157]

Cargo doesn't support it either, trying to build with a dependency on reactiontime on a case-sensitive filesystem gives

error: failed to read `/home/nemo157/.cargo/registry/src/github.heygears.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/reactiontime-0.1.0/Cargo.toml`

I think the fix here should be to give a build failure if Cargo.toml is missing. In a sense this is really the same as #797, but we also panic on the error.

[jyn514]

Err .. it turns out this isn't actually a panic, just error logging. So there's no panics going on here. The only issue is that the build failure isn't recorded (#797).
