rust: sync: add support for dispatching on Arc and ArcBorrow.

Trait objects (`dyn T`) require trait `T` to be "object safe". One of
the requirements for "object safety" is that the receiver have one of
the allowed types. This commit adds `Arc<T>` and `ArcBorrow<'_, T>` to
the list of allowed types.
