Subject: [PATCH] Implement the smart pointer `InPlaceInit` for `Arc`

From: Alex Mantel <alexmantel93@...lbox.org>

For pinned and unpinned initialization of structs, a trait named
`InPlaceInit` exists for uniform access. `Arc` did not implement
`InPlaceInit` yet, although the functions already existed. The main
reason for that, was that the trait itself returned a `Pin<Self>`. The
`Arc` implementation of the kernel is already implicitly pinned.

To enable `Arc` to implement `InPlaceInit` and to have uniform access,
for in-place and pinned in-place initialization, an associated type is
introduced for `InPlaceInit`. The new implementation of `InPlaceInit`
for `Arc` sets `Arc` as the associated type. Older implementations use
an explicit `Pin<T>` as the associated type. The implemented methods for
`Arc` are mostly moved from a direct implementation on `Arc`. There
should be no user impact. The implementation for `ListArc` is omitted,
because it is not merged yet.
