rust: sync: add ArcBorrow::from_raw

Allows access to a value in an `Arc` that is currently held as a raw
pointer due to use of `Arc::into_raw`, without destroying or otherwise
consuming that raw pointer.

This is a dependency of the linked list that Rust Binder uses. The
linked list uses this method when iterating over the linked list [1].
