rust: arc: add new ArcBorrow docs and examples

This is part of the effort to minimize the differences of the `rust`
branch with respect to mainline in order to eventually drop it.

-/// A borrowed [`Arc`] with manually-managed lifetime.
+/// A borrowed reference to an [`Arc`] instance.
+///
+/// For cases when one doesn't ever need to increment the refcount on the allocation, it is simpler
+/// to use just `&T`, which we can trivially get from an `Arc<T>` instance.
+///
+/// However, when one may need to increment the refcount, it is preferable to use an `ArcBorrow<T>`
+/// over `&Arc<T>` because the latter results in a double-indirection: a pointer (shared reference)
+/// to a pointer (`Arc<T>`) to the object (`T`). An [`ArcBorrow`] eliminates this double
+/// indirection while still allowing one to increment the refcount and getting an `Arc<T>` when/if
+/// needed.

-/// There are no mutable references to the underlying [`Arc`], and it remains valid for the lifetime
-/// of the [`ArcBorrow`] instance.

+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// use crate::sync::{Arc, ArcBorrow};
+///
+/// struct Example;
+///
+/// fn do_something(e: ArcBorrow<'_, Example>) -> Arc<Example> {
+///     e.into()
+/// }
+///
+/// let obj = Arc::try_new(Example)?;
+/// let cloned = do_something(obj.as_arc_borrow());
+///
+/// // Assert that both `obj` and `cloned` point to the same underlying object.
+/// assert!(core::ptr::eq(&*obj, &*cloned));
+/// ```
