Fix rustup installation description
While going through the process of installing rust-analyzer to use with Neovim, I noticed that the instructions for installing with rustup are incorrect now that [issue #2411](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/2411) has been closed. Now when rust-analyzer is installed using rustup, it is installed in ~/.cargo/bin and a symlink or some other workaround is no longer needed. I have updated the documentation accordingly.
