sync: ensure Mutex, RwLock, and Semaphore futures are Send + Sync #2375

Motivation

Previously, the Mutex::lock, RwLock::{read, write}, and
Semaphore::acquire futures in tokio::sync implemented Send + Sync
automatically. This was by virtue of being implemented using a poll_fn
that only closed over Send + Sync types. However, this broke in
PR #2325, which rewrote those types using the new batch_semaphore.
Now, they await an Acquire future, which contains a Waiter, which
internally contains an UnsafeCell, and thus does not implement Sync.

Since removing previously implemented traits breaks existing code, this
inadvertantly caused a breaking change. There were tests ensuring that
the Mutex, RwLock, and Semaphore types themselves were Send + Sync, but no tests that the futures they return implemented those
traits.

Solution

I've fixed this by adding an explicit impl of Sync for the
batch_semaphore::Acquire future. Since the Waiter type held by this
struct is only accessed when borrowed mutably, it is safe for it to
implement Sync.

Additionally, I've added to the bounds checks for the effected
tokio::sync types to ensure that returned futures continue to
implement Send + Sync in the future.

Fixes: #2373

Previously, the `Mutex::lock`, `RwLock::{read, write}`, and
`Semaphore::acquire` futures in `tokio::sync` implemented `Send + Sync`
automatically. This was by virtue of being implemented using a `poll_fn`
that only closed over `Send + Sync` types. However, this broke in
PR #2325, which rewrote those types using the new `batch_semaphore`.
Now, they await an `Acquire` future, which contains a `Waiter`, which
internally contains an `UnsafeCell`, and thus does not implement `Sync`.

Since removing previously implemented traits breaks existing code, this
inadvertantly caused a breaking change. There were tests ensuring that
the `Mutex`, `RwLock`, and `Semaphore` types themselves were `Send +
Sync`, but no tests that the _futures they return_ implemented those
traits.

I've fixed this by adding an explicit impl of `Sync` for the
`batch_semaphore::Acquire` future. Since the `Waiter` type held by this
struct is only accessed when borrowed mutably, it is safe for it to
implement `Sync`.

Additionally, I've added to the bounds checks for the effected
`tokio::sync` types to ensure that returned futures continue to
implement `Send + Sync` in the future.

Does this need a bump release? if so we should prepare that along side this and we can get it out asap

I think we probably should do a version bump — @carllerche, what do you think?

I think that should be staged in a separate PR though.

@hawkw cool, if you can open a bump Pr I can do the rest.

We should push a patch release. You can include the version bump / changelog here too.

Let's try to move forwards in time and not backwards 😆

It would be nice if azure windows CI stopped randomly not reporting back....
