[Bug] Rust repositories are identified as TOML

[FunctionalHacker]

Example: https://git.reekynet.com
Look for the "lqsd" repository and you can see that it is identified as TOML, when it in fact is a Rust project.

this is normal as there is more TOML content than Rust content

There are four .rs files in src and one .toml file in the repository root.

EDIT: I don't know how the language detection works, but I think if there is a directory called "src" in the project root, it should ignore everything in root and only look in src to determine the language

GH correctly identified it as Rust, I'm assuming they have some override based on certain files etc.

It's being identified as TOML because there's more lines of TOML than Rust, likely due to the cargo files. (More lines isn't exactly correct, as it's based on file size not lines)

Using src is a possible solution for some cases, but it's definitely not fair to assume a src directory as the golden standard.

My guess is there'd be a list of things to look for that would "override" primary language, such as a cargo file or go.mod for Go etc etc.
When a project has more than one for some reason, it would just default to using most lines like currently?

Cargo.lock file is also detected as yaml so based on file size calculation seems correct
