Remove the implicit 'static bound on Send.

Previously Send was defined as `trait Send: 'static {}`. As detailed in
rust-lang/rfcs#458, the `'static` bound is not
actually necessary for safety, we can use lifetimes to enforce that more
flexibly.

`unsafe` code that was previously relying on `Send` to insert a
`'static` bound now may allow incorrect patterns, and so should be
audited (a quick way to ensure safety immediately and postpone the audit
is to add an explicit `'static` bound to any uses of the `Send` type).

cc #22251.
