262: Move AtomicCell into crossbeam-utils r=jeehoonkang a=stjepang

At this point, I feel pretty confident about the current state of `AtomicCell` in the sense that we probably won't make any breaking changes to its public API in the future.

It's also a reasonably small utility without dependencies that deserves living in `crossbeam-utils`. The Rust compiler would like to use it in place of its `LockCell`, and already has `crossbeam-utils` whitelisted. See [this PR](rust-lang/rust#56614 (comment)).

Let's move `AtomicCell` into `crossbeam-utils` so that people can use it without depending on whole `crossbeam`.
