Point users to crate authors on cargo-install failures #11485

Description

@epage

Seeing issues like #11484 made me wonder if there is something we can do to help users.

For example, what if git and registry installs had a note at the end that pointed people to the repository link in the manifest? The main risk is sending people to the wrong place for cargo bugs but the likelihood of that seems low enough and it shouldn't confuse the person triaging it as they are likely the crate author and more likely to tell apart failures in their crate vs cargo failures.
