Restore compatibility with Rust 1.74

PR #544 added support for `no_std` feature. The PR changed
`std::error::Error` to `core::error::Error`. The `core::error` trait was
stabilized in Rust 1.81, so the change bumped MSRV to 1.81. Before the
Python package built with Rust 1.66 and the `safetensors` create with
all features built with 1.74.

This commit restores compatibility with Rust 1.74 for `std` builds:

- `mixed_integer_ops` feature requires 1.66
- `half v2.4.1` requires 1.70
- `clap_lex v0.7.4` requires 1.74

I'm also adding `rust-version` to `Cargo.toml`, so cargo creates a
backwards compatible `Cargo.lock`. By default, Cargo >= 1.83 creates a
`v4` lock file, which is not compatible with Cargo < 1.78.
