Subject: [PATCH] Rustc strip flag and cargo strip release date

This PR is to update the README before the release of rust version 1.59 on 2022-02-24.
When that version is released, issue #33 and PR #34 can be merged and the edits in this PR discarded but and alternative solution is good to have in the meantime.
