<content type='text'>
Reintroduce dynamically-allocated LockClassKeys such that they are
automatically (de)registered. Require that all usages of LockClassKeys
ensure that they are Pin'd.

Currently, only `'static` LockClassKeys are supported, so Pin is
redundant. However, it is intended that dynamically-allocated
LockClassKeys will eventually be supported, so using Pin from the outset
will make that change simpler.

<content type='text'>
Add support for creating global variables that are wrapped in a mutex or
spinlock.

The implementation here is intended to replace the global mutex
workaround found in the Rust Binder RFC [1]. In both cases, the global
lock must be initialized before first use. The macro is unsafe to use
for the same reason.

The separate initialization step is required because it is tricky to
access the value of __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED from Rust. Doing so will
require changes to the C side. That change will happen as a follow-up to
this patch.
