Fix use-after-free on panic during ArcWake::wake_by_ref #1797

Wrap temporary Arc<>s in ManuallyDrop early instead of calling forget() later: that way even during unwinding for panics it doesn't drop the refcount it doesn't actually own.

Also it means wake_by_ref doesn't need an unwind section anymore.

Same thing in increase_refcount (although Arc::clone should only abort, not unwind).

Nice! Would you mind adding a test for this?

Added a test (if you prefer it in a separate commit before/after the fix I can split it of course).

The test fails for me without the fix applied:

error: process didn't exit successfully: `[...]/futures/target/debug/deps/arc_wake-e1af0914f1200023` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)
