As discussed in [1], we need to support multiple versions of
rust-analyzer to take advantage of newer features without breaking
compatibility for users on older toolchains; we must maintain support
for rust-analyzer v0.3.1940 (2024-04-29), which corresponds to our
current MSRV of 1.78.

Hence, this series revises the approach taken in [2] by first adding
multi-version support for rust-analyzer. Specifically, it enables
support for the v0.3.2727 (2025-12-22) release and newer, which is
required to resolve inherent method resolution issues for primitive
types found in recent versions of rust-analyzer.

Thanks to Gary Guo and Miguel Ojeda for their feedback and reviews.

Hi Jesung, is this something you'd be interested in updating now that
type hints have been staged in rust-analyzer-next?

Cheers.
