Rustup.rs needs some rust theming for credibility #3191

I hate to open a discussion that I know has the potential to turn into too much bikeshedding, but I think that there could be some improvements done here. Current site:

Barebones is great and not much is needed for the purpose of this site. However: there's no logo, no theme, no links to a "getting started" or usage guide, and imho looks a bit like the result of a modern website when you disable javascript. There just isn't anything that visually suggests "this is an official rust project", to match the text that literally says it.

I am not suggesting large changes, just enough to make it a bit more coherent with other official Rust websites.

To do so, I think rustup.rs could generally match rustdoc, mdbook, rust-lang.org, or foundation.rust-lang.org themes (why do they all have completely different themes...). I think rust-lang.org is the best bet here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install as a basis. From there:

And that's it. No more questioning whether you're on the right website when you visit.

(I don't mind heading something up here if there's no strong opposition)
