rustup show active-toolchain could be more detailed

[matthiaskrgr]

Right now rustup show active-toolchain shows this on my system:
nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default)

It would be nice to not only know the active channel but perhaps also show the actual compiler version and the corresponding hash? (perhaps through a --verbose flag?)
nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default) - 1.52.0-nightly (94736c434 2021-02-27)

I concur that it would be helpful to know this information. Are you in a position to offer a patch? If you want help working out what to do, we're willing to assist either here or on the Discord channel for Rustup.

Can I take this issue?

[kinnison]

@urohit011 We don't really operate a process of handing issues out per-se, now that you've expressed an interest here, that's enough. If you want to discuss things, then #wg-rustup on the rust-lang discord is the best place to find us, or you can post here too. Thanks for being interested in getting into rustup development.
