Subject: [PATCH 2/4] rust: alloc: implement `Borrow` and `BorrowMut` for
 `Arc` types

Implement these two common traits, which allow generic types to store
either an owned value or a reference to it, leveraging the `Deref`
implementation.

`Arc` can only implement `Borrow`, but `UniqueArc` is able to support
both.

`ForeignOwnable` makes a call to its own `borrow` method which must be
disambiguated.
