Raise the MSRVto 1.51.0

Nix's code hasn't changed.  However, Serde accidentally raised its MSRV
to 1.51.0 in a patch release, due to a Cargo bug.  They don't plan to
change it back.  Nix does not depend on Serde, but it's used by
cargo-hack, which we build as part of our CI process.  So we need to
either raise our MSRV, or else install a separate toolchain during CI
just to build cargo-hack.

 ### Changed
 
+- The MSRV is now 1.51.0
+  ([#TODO](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/TODO))
 - Rewrote the aio module.  The new module:
   * Does more type checking at compile time rather than runtime.
   * Gives the caller control over whether and when to `Box` an aio operation.
