Gary Guo c95bbb59a9 rust: enable arbitrary_self_types and remove Receiver ... The term "receiver" means that a type can be used as the type of `self`, and thus enables method call syntax `foo.bar()` instead of `Foo::bar(foo)`. Stable Rust as of today (1.81) enables a limited selection of types (primitives and types in std, e.g. `Box` and `Arc`) to be used as receivers, while custom types cannot. We want the kernel `Arc` type to have the same functionality as the Rust std `Arc`, so we use the `Receiver` trait (gated behind `receiver_trait` unstable feature) to gain the functionality. The `arbitrary_self_types` RFC [1] (tracking issue [2]) is accepted and it will allow all types that implement a new `Receiver` trait (different from today's unstable trait) to be used as receivers. This trait will be automatically implemented for all `Deref` types, which include our `Arc` type, so we no longer have to opt-in to be used as receiver. To prepare us for the change, remove the `Receiver` implementation and the associated feature. To still allow `Arc` and others to be used as method receivers, turn on `arbitrary_self_types` feature instead. This feature gate is introduced in 1.23.0. It used to enable both `Deref` types and raw pointer types to be used as receivers, but the latter is now split into a different feature gate in Rust 1.83 nightly. We do not need receivers on raw pointers so this change would not affect us and usage of `arbitrary_self_types` feature would work for all Rust versions that we support (>=1.78).
