Introduce `alloc::::UniqueRc`
This is an `Rc` that is guaranteed to only have one strong reference. Because it is uniquely owned, it can safely implement `DerefMut`, which allows programs to have an initialization phase where structures inside the `Rc` can be mutated. The `UniqueRc` can then be converted to a regular `Rc`, allowing sharing and but read-only access. During the "initialization phase," weak references can be created, but attempting to upgrade these will fail until the `UniqueRc` has been converted to a regular `Rc`. This feature can be useful to create cyclic data structures. This API is an implementation based on the feedback provided to the ACP at https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/90.
