Bug 1428197 - Reject generic channels in rust repack jobs. r=glandium

Ensure better determinism when creating rust toolchain packages
by rejecting generic channels like 'stable' or 'nightly'. Instead,
insist on a specific version or date.

The current valid dates for beta and nightly can be obtained with:

curl -s https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-beta.toml | grep ^date
curl -s https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-nightly.toml | grep ^date
