Synchronization primitives built with [portable-atomic].

- Provide `Arc`. (optional, requires the `std` or `alloc` feature)
- Provide `task::Wake`. (optional, requires the `std` or `alloc` feature)


See [#1] for other primitives being considered for addition to this crate.

## Optional features

- **`std`**
  Use `std`.

  Note:
  - This implicitly enables the `alloc` feature.

- **`alloc`**
  Use `alloc`.

  Note:
  - The MSRV when this feature is enabled and the `std` feature is *not* enabled is Rust 1.36 that `alloc` crate stabilized.

## Optional cfg

One of the ways to enable cfg is to set [rustflags in the cargo config](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#targettriplerustflags):

```toml
# .cargo/config.toml
[target.<target>]
rustflags = ["--cfg", "portable_atomic_unstable_coerce_unsized"]
```

Or set environment variable:

```sh
RUSTFLAGS="--cfg portable_atomic_unstable_coerce_unsized" cargo ...
```

- **`--cfg portable_atomic_unstable_coerce_unsized`**
  Support coercing of `Arc<T>` to `Arc<U>` as in `std::sync::Arc`.

  

  This cfg requires Rust nightly because this coercing requires [unstable `CoerceUnsized` trait](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/core/ops/trait.CoerceUnsized.html).

  See [this issue comment](https://github.com/taiki-e/portable-atomic/issues/143#issuecomment-1866488569) for another known workaround.

  **Note:** This cfg is unstable and outside of the normal semver guarantees and minor or patch versions of portable-atomic-util may make breaking changes to them at any time.
