Fix i686 wheel build after introduction of cryptography

Description

The 3.27.0 build introduced a dependency on the cryptography module (in order to implement CLE). cryptography is backed by OpenSSL for its crypto ops but also by an additional native lib for non-crypto ops. That lib is implemented in Rust, which means building cryptography from source requires a Rust toolchain. Apparently cryptography doesn’t have wheels for i686; we noticed attempts to build it from source when creating wheels for that platform. This failed because we didn’t have a Rust toolchain on the relevant runner.

 

Explore what is needed to get Rust installed on those runners and a successful i686 build as a result.

is now the law of the land (after 3.28.0 was released) so we should probably take another look at this.

would likely also help quite a bit here

Just a note: only test step in the GH action is failing for i686, so you can choose to skip that.

Hmmmm… worth noting that Linux on i686 isn’t a supported platform for at least new versions of cryptography. We may have to bound client-side encryption to other platforms and just make this a platform-specific dependency.

Testing a snippet to add rust toolchain in my repo:
