rust: sync: reword the Arc safety comment for Sync

Browse Source 
The safety comment on `impl Sync for Arc` references the Send safety
comment. This commit avoids that in case the two comments drift apart in
the future.

// SAFETY: It is safe to send `&Arc<T>` to another thread when the underlying `T` is `Sync` for the
// same reason as above. `T` needs to be `Send` as well because a thread can clone an `&Arc<T>`
// into an `Arc<T>`, which may lead to `T` being accessed by the same reasoning as above.
// SAFETY: It is safe to send `&Arc<T>` to another thread when the underlying `T` is `Sync`
// because it effectively means sharing `&T` (which is safe because `T` is `Sync`); additionally,
// it needs `T` to be `Send` because any thread that has a `&Arc<T>` may clone it and get an
// `Arc<T>` on that thread, so the thread may ultimately access `T` using a mutable reference when
// the reference count reaches zero and `T` is dropped.
