rust: sync: introduce `UniqueArc`
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>`.
