UPSTREAM: rust: sync: add Arc::{from_raw, into_raw}

These methods can be used to turn an `Arc` into a raw pointer and back,
in a way that preserves the metadata for fat pointers.

This is done using the unstable ptr_metadata feature [1]. However, it
could also be done using the unstable pointer_byte_offsets feature [2],
which is likely to have a shorter path to stabilization than
ptr_metadata.
