std: Stabilize unit, bool, ty, tuple, arc, any
This commit applies stability attributes to the contents of these modules,
summarized here:

* The `unit` and `bool` modules have become #[unstable] as they are purely meant
  for documentation purposes and are candidates for removal.

* The `ty` module has been deprecated, and the inner `Unsafe` type has been
  renamed to `UnsafeCell` and moved to the `cell` module. The `marker1` field
  has been removed as the compiler now always infers `UnsafeCell` to be
  invariant. The `new` method i stable, but the `value` field, `get` and
  `unwrap` methods are all unstable.

* The `tuple` module has its name as stable, the naming of the `TupleN` traits
  as stable while the methods are all #[unstable]. The other impls in the module
  have appropriate stability for the corresponding trait.

* The `arc` module has received the exact same treatment as the `rc` module
  previously did.

* The `any` module has its name as stable. The `Any` trait is also stable, with
  a new private supertrait which now contains the `get_type_id` method. This is
  to make the method a private implementation detail rather than a public-facing
  detail.

  The two extension traits in the module are marked #[unstable] as they will not
  be necessary with DST. The `is` method is #[stable], the as_{mut,ref} methods
  have been renamed to downcast_{mut,ref} and are #[unstable].

  The extension trait `BoxAny` has been clarified as to why it is unstable as it
  will not be necessary with DST.

This is a breaking change because the `marker1` field was removed from the
`UnsafeCell` type. To deal with this change, you can simply delete the field and
only specify the value of the `data` field in static initializers.
