This commit stabilizes the `std::sync::atomics` module, renaming it to
`std::sync::atomic` to match library precedent elsewhere, and tightening
up behavior around incorrect memory ordering annotations.
The vast majority of the module is now `stable`. However, the
`AtomicOption` type has been deprecated, since it is essentially unused
and is not truly a primitive atomic type. It will eventually be replaced
by a higher-level abstraction like MVars.
Due to deprecations, this is a:

Earlier commits have established a baseline of `experimental` stability
for all crates under the facade (so their contents are considered
experimental within libstd). Since `experimental` is `allow` by
default, we should use the same baseline stability for libstd itself.
This commit adds `experimental` tags to all of the modules defined in
`std`, and `unstable` to `std` itself.

This commit is the final step in the libstd facade, #13851. The purpose of this
commit is to move libsync underneath the standard library, behind the facade.
This will allow core primitives like channels, queues, and atomics to all live
in the same location.
There were a few notable changes and a few breaking changes as part of this
movement:
* The `Vec` and `String` types are reexported at the top level of libcollections
* The `unreachable!()` macro was copied to libcore
* The `std::rt::thread` module was moved to librustrt, but it is still
reexported at the same location.
* The `std::comm` module was moved to libsync
* The `sync::comm` module was moved under `sync::comm`, and renamed to `duplex`.
It is now a private module with types/functions being reexported under
`sync::comm`. This is a breaking change for any existing users of duplex
streams.
* All concurrent queues/deques were moved directly under libsync. They are also
all marked with #![experimental] for now if they are public.
* The `task_pool` and `future` modules no longer live in libsync, but rather
live under `std::sync`. They will forever live at this location, but they may
move to libsync if the `std::task` module moves as well.

This type has been superseded by Arc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
