Update to latest rustfmt-nightly

To make future upgrades easier, we also make the following changes:

1. Use a rust-toolchain file to clearly specify the requirements of
our toolchain.
2. Refer to this toolchain in the CI configuration to avoid duplicating
the version requirement.
3. Remove `wasm` feature in favour of cfg-based dependency declarations.
4. Remove `patches` directory as they are now outdated with the recent
ap-crates releases.
5. Depend on rustfmt via git because the crates.io release is no longer
being updated. The Cargo.lock file tracks which specific Git revision
we depend on. Future updates therefore should only require a `cargo update`.
