Integrate MIRI into cargo make and ci

tl;dr it seems as the miri crate is not present as rustup component for each nightly build. As I'm not sure about the implications of that decisions, I decided to delay this issue until I've managed to bump our Rust version (hopefully fixing all of the other issues we have at our current setup).

Didn't manage to do more for this, sorry for that! %)

[TrueDoctor]

Sorry, should have made that clear in the issue:
https://github.com/rust-lang/miri#running-miri-on-ci

Current status regarding workspaces: rust-lang/miri#1001

I have a simple change for this in my git stash and watch the issue, so I can do this as soon as this is fixed :)

[TrueDoctor]

Miri does not seem to be available for current nightly versions. Seems like we have to wait a little longer

[Ma27]

Hmm.... I'm afraid that this will make it way harder to bump nightly when using MIRI in the future. Let me find out later today if this can be easily packaged in Arch and Nix so we can use it locally and in the CI.

If it does not even build with recent nightly versions: https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-toolstate/
I'd suggest we focus our resources on more productive things than trying to make this work

currently non of our binary targets work with miri, since they use instructions not supported by miri.
The only currently working crate are the unit tests in rask-engine, which use purely safe stable rust code

That is unfortunate. We could however make tests that only test the parts that are supported by miri, as described here:

When compiling code via cargo miri, the miri config flag is set. You can use this to ignore test cases that fail under Miri because they do things Miri does not support:

#[test]
#[cfg_attr(miri, ignore)]
fn does_not_work_on_miri() {
    std::thread::spawn(|| println!("Hello Thread!"))
        .join()
        .unwrap();
}
