This allows us to hand ownership of Rust ref-counted objects to
the C side of the kernel.

Trait objects (`dyn T`) require trait `T` to be "object safe". One of
the requirements for "object safety" is that the receiver have one of
the allowed types. This commit adds `Arc<T>` and `ArcBorrow<'_, T>` to
the list of allowed types.

Since `Arc<T>` does not allow mutating `T` directly (i.e., without inner
mutability), it is currently not possible to do some initialisation of
`T` post construction but before being shared.
`UniqueArc<T>` addresses this problem essentially being an `Arc<T>` that
has a refcount of 1 and is therefore writable. Once initialisation is
completed, it can be transitioned (without failure paths) into an
`Arc<T>`.

This allows associated functions whose `self` argument has
`ArcBorrow<T>` as their type. This, in turn, allows callers to use the
dot syntax to make calls.

This allows us to create references to a ref-counted allocation without
double-indirection and that still allow us to increment the refcount to
a new `Arc<T>`.

The coercion is only allowed if `U` is a compatible dynamically-sized
type (DST). For example, if we have some type `X` that implements trait
`Y`, then this allows `Arc<X>` to be coerced into `Arc<dyn Y>`.

This is a basic implementation of `Arc` backed by C's `refcount_t`. It
allows Rust code to idiomatically allocate memory that is ref-counted.
