Typo fix: "the a" -> "the"

[follower]

I think "the release" is preferable to "a release" in this context but I'm no grammarian. :)

I'm going to assume you are trying to file PRs for Hacktoberfest.

While this patch is fine intrinsically, I do not wish to encourage this kind of scattergun typo-fix PR approach.

If you want to file some typo fixes for rustup, there's plenty of text to review in the codebase and to suggest corrections for other than this one tiny change. Why not put some effort into that and improve more than a single code comment?

Lol, no, but I suspected that might happen when I saw it hit the news.

In this case I noticed this issue while in the process of writing up a different (still to be submitted) issue.

I mean, I understand the context of the response but still feel like it could've been worded a little more friendly/less presumptively.

(The issue I mentioned writing up being: #2506.)

Anyway, I was also intending to fix the rand typo I'd encountered on the second line here but won't if it's undesired:

rustup/src/cli/self_update.rs

Lines 687 to 688 in 4ee141e

	// binary. This is intended for cases where historically users
	// rand `cargo install rustfmt` and so they had custom `rustfmt`

I'm happy for typos, but perhaps just one pr with a few in it?

I apologise for my tone a couple of weeks ago. But I'm sure you can appreciate the single-typo-fix PR confusion :D

I've since looked at your contributions elsewhere and I have to say that I shouldn't have responded in that fashion.

I assume I put you off other fixes, but I'll merge this anyway. Thank you for your contribution.
