Update MSRV following rust-toolchain.toml (#12455)

Also update the `rust-version` in `Cargo.toml` following the update to
`rust-toolchain.toml` in #12258

Added a CI check to verify any future PRs trying to update one will also
have to update the other. (using `std-lib-and-python-virtualenv` job as
this already includes a fresh `nu` binary for a little toml munching
script)
