Caching ~/.cargo/bin between github action runs causes the machete action to fail

[Mossop]

The recommended paths to cache for rust projects include ~/.cargo/bin. However if you do this then the cargo-machete action fails:

Run bnjbvr/cargo-machete@main
  env:
    CARGO_HOME: /home/runner/.cargo
    CARGO_INCREMENTAL: 0
    CARGO_TERM_COLOR: always
Run clechasseur/rs-cargo@v2
  with:
    command: install
    args: cargo-machete
    use-cross: false
  env:
    CARGO_HOME: /home/runner/.cargo
    CARGO_INCREMENTAL: 0
    CARGO_TERM_COLOR: always
/home/runner/.cargo/bin/cargo install cargo-machete
    Updating crates.io index
error: binary `cargo-machete` already exists in destination
Add --force to overwrite
Error: The process '/home/runner/.cargo/bin/cargo' failed with exit code 101

Also experiencing this in my project.

Thanks for reporting; not sure how this could be fixed, so anyone, feel free to propose a fix 😇

Depending on your preference I think you could use continue-on-error in the install action step to just continue if installation fails, or you could pass --force to the install command to overwrite the existing binary.

I think passing --force could make sense, assuming it's not forcing reinstallation if the binary was installed with the same version number? In this case, anyone feel free to provide a PR :)
