Documentation: latest release main branch book Minimum Rust version policy

is guaranteed to compile with the latest stable release of Rust in addition to the two prior minor releases. For example, if the latest stable Rust release is 1.70, then is guaranteed to compile with Rust 1.68, 1.69, and 1.70.

The minimum supported Rust version may be increased to one of the aforementioned versions if doing so provides the end user a benefit. However, the minimum supported Rust version may also be bumped to a version four minor releases prior to the most recent stable release if doing so improves code quality or maintainability.
