[PATCH v2] rust: sync: improve `Arc` documentation links

[Harish C S]

The `Arc` documentation has a few mentions that do not follow the
surrounding style: a plain `Arc` without an intra-doc link and a
lower-case "arc".

Use intra-doc links for rustdoc references to `Arc` and spell internal
comments consistently as `Arc`, matching nearby docs.
