Suggest rustup update in readme
I'm pretty new to Rust. I tried installing rustlings for the first time and got this error:
```
$> cargo install --force --path .
error: `/Users/ajax/projects/rust/rustlings` is not a crate root; specify a crate to install from crates.io, or use --path or --git to specify an alternate source
Caused by:
failed to parse manifest at `/Users/ajax/projects/rust/rustlings/Cargo.toml`
Caused by:
editions are unstable
Caused by:
feature `edition` is required
this Cargo does not support nightly features, but if you
switch to nightly channel you can add
`cargo-features = ["edition"]` to enable this feature
```
I'm not sure if the answer was to run `rustup update` but I noticed that I was running Rust 1.29.0, so updated to 1.36.0 and got it working. If there's a way to specify a minimum required version, pls let me know.
Lastly, the whitespace changes were automatic from my editor. What's the convention here for making such updates? Thanks!
Fix iterators2
A couple of small changes to the `iterators2` exercise. @Jesse-Cameron, it looks like you contributed this exercise, so I wanted to check and see if these changes are in line with your intentions. Happy to adjust if they're not :)
fix(option1): Add test for prematurely passing exercise
Fixes the bug referenced in #160, but does not address the larger feature work referenced by the issue.
fix(test1): Swap assertion parameter order
`Expected` should come before `actual`, other wise it leads to confusing compiler messages, e.g.
```
note: expected type `()`
found type `{integer}`
```
There may be other tests that need updating, but this is as far as I am through the Rustlings course right now :)

feat(iterators2): adds iterators2 exercise including config
Hi there!
I really enjoyed doing the rustlings exercises so I thought that I would try to add an exercise!
This one just covers a couple of basic iterator operations. Getting people used to the `map` and `collect` functions.
However, it does feel kinda similar to the next exercise. So I may also revisit some of the tests in iterators3 if we think that is necessary.
chore: Fix a couple broken book links
While I was fixing these, I figured maybe it's good to just use a consistent URL for book links: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
Is there a plan for what to do with this old 1.4.0 example that doesn't exist in the current version of the book? Perhaps at least include a disclaimer when recommending that folks check it out?

chore: Clean up some formatting in exercises
I noticed some formatting that isn't consistent with the `rustfmt` style and tried my best to run it on the files in the exercises directory (which does fail for files that can't compile!), which just caught some minor whitespace things here and there.
Note: also can't just apply `rustfmt` blindly because of the blank lines that lead to the hint comments
Fixes the irrefutable let pattern warning in `structs1.rs`
PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/pull/163 accidentally introduced an error using some versions of the Rust compiler where the compiler would (rightly!) complain about an irrefutable let pattern. I have no idea why this did not occur in all versions of the compiler, but here is a way around it.
fix(installation): Fix rustlings installation check
fixes#147
I did some quick testing with the `-x` check:
```sh
if [ -x "$(notrustlings)" ]
then
echo "notrustlings does not exist"
else
echo "notrustlings appears to exist!"
notrustlings
fi
```
which produced:
```
./test.sh: line 12: notrustlings: command not found
notrustlings appears to exist!
./test.sh: line 17: notrustlings: command not found
```
(consistent with comments in issue)
Using `if ! [ -x "$(command -v <command>)" ]` appears to be the standard way to perform this type of check.
chore: Minor text updates
- Make the default rustlings executable text consistent with the README and install script by adding `--force`.
- Remove a missed highlighting character from Issue #133.
