Implement equivalents to mpsc::channel() and ::sync_channel() for the MainContext #430

This allows safely sending items from arbitrary threads to the main context and handling them via a callback.

I'll port the cairo threads example to use this tomorrow.

I'll probably also change the API a bit while porting the cairo example, it's currently not ideal yet.

Current version looks good, thanks

Otherwise we might run a Drop impl on uninitialized memory.

Better version now, also closer API-wise to the std API :)

Example usage (apart from the unit tests) here: gtk-rs/examples#222
