Subject: [PATCH] rust: list: add ListArcField

One way to explain what `ListArc` does is that it controls exclusive
access to the prev/next pointer field in a refcounted object. The
feature of having a special reference to a refcounted object with
exclusive access to specific fields is useful for other things, so
provide a general utility for that.

This is used by Rust Binder to keep track of which processes have a
reference to a given node. This involves an object for each process/node
pair, that is referenced by both the process and the node. For some
fields in this object, only the process's reference needs to access
them (and it needs mutable access), so Binder uses a ListArc to give the
process's reference exclusive access.
