rust: kernel: move ARef and AlwaysRefCounted to sync::aref

Browse source 
Move the definitions of `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted` from `types.rs`
to a new file `sync/aref.rs`.  Define the corresponding `aref` module
under `rust/kernel/sync.rs`.  These types are better grouped in `sync`.

To avoid breaking existing imports, they are re-exported from `types.rs`.
Drop unused imports `mem::ManuallyDrop`, `ptr::NonNull` from `types.rs`,
they are now only used in `sync/aref.rs`, where they are already imported.
