This is following the discussion about allowing cargo features to be used in rust-based hooks (started in #3230 continued in #3235).

The cargo add command has been used since 2018 to add dependencies to a rust-based hook's manifest (Cargo.toml). Sometime since then (probably when 2021 edition was stabalized), cargo features were implemented in the cargo install command. As noted in #3235 (comment), this makes cargo install more suitable for a rust-based hook's additional-dependencies because it actually installs additionally specified dependencies.
