Description
Please provide clear instructions for version identification for rust-analyzer components in VS Code.
I believe that the "correct" way to identify rust-analyzer as it is used in "my" instance of Visual Code is to View -> Open View -> Output and, there, pick the "Rust Analyzer Client" component from the drop-down.
This then yields the information block below, including the Visual Studio Code extension version (here: 0.3.566-nightly) and some identifier for the rust-analyzer binary (here: rust-analyzer 2021-04-19-66-g70fe7a451) which I gather is subject to tweaking right now (rust-lang/rust-analyzer#8571)
FWIW, while I create this issue here for the website, I wonder whether linking from the VS Code extension's About page directly to such documentation would help? After all, this is a fast-moving project (nightlies, and I see the commit traffic); good version information will help.
