Add rust-version (#295)

- This version is different from the MSRV. It specifies the minimum
  version required to build the crate and its direct dependencies.
- Add a CI step for building the crate alone with the oldest version
  possible.
- See MSRV.md for the policy and minimal version supported by CI,
  including all example code.
- Update all actions to checkout/v3

 The table above will be kept up-to-date in lock-step with CI on the main branch in GitHub. It may contain information about unreleased and yanked versions. It is the user's responsibility to consult with the [`pixels` versions page](https://crates.io/crates/pixels/versions) on `crates.io` to verify version status.
