Subject: [PATCH v4 03/15] rust: sync: change error type of constructor functions

From: Benno Lossin <y86-dev@...tonmail.com>

Change the error type of the constructors of `Arc` and `UniqueArc` to be
`AllocError` instead of `Error`. This makes the API more clear as to
what can go wrong when calling `try_new` or its variants.
