The cargo install command was not able to update installed binaries 4 years ago. So we needed to use some hacks to detect available updates manually and then use --force to reinstall the newer versions. Apparently this code has some issues with ordering versions numbers, as reported in #1.

While we could use the semver crate to get the correct order, we can also use the "install-update" feature of cargo itself, which was stabilized in Rust 1.41. Using this feature, this PR is able to vastly simlify the crate. We now just parse the cargo install --list output to detect the installed crates and then pass each of them to cargo install. The cargo install command will then figure out whether do upgrade or not itself.

Fixes #1.
