This type has been superseded by Arc<Unsafe<T>>. The UnsafeArc type is a relic
of an era that has long since past, and with the introduction of liballoc the
standard library is able to use the Arc smart pointer. With little need left for
UnsafeArc, it was removed.
All existing code using UnsafeArc should either be reevaluated to whether it can
use only Arc, or it should transition to Arc<Unsafe<T>>

In Rust, the strongest guarantee that `&mut` provides is that the memory
pointed to is *not aliased*, whereas `&`'s guarantees are much weaker:
that the value can be aliased, and may be mutated under proper precautions
(interior mutability).
Our atomics though use `&mut` for mutation even while creating multiple
aliases, so this changes them to use 'interior mutability', mutating
through immutable references.

For now, this moves the following modules to std::sync
* UnsafeArc (also removed unwrap method)
* mpsc_queue
* spsc_queue
* atomics
* mpmc_bounded_queue
* deque
We may want to remove some of the queues, but for now this moves things out of
std::rt into std::sync
