thunk: Generic lazy evaluation for Rust

The thunk crate provides primitives for lazy evaluation in Rust.

At present, it provides three thunk types and a trait which encapsulates lazily evaluated types, Lazy. The thunk types are as follows:

• unsync::Thunk: non-Send, non-Sync thunks.
• sync::Thunk: Send + Sync thunks which use atomic data internally. This is slower than unsync::Thunk, but sync::Thunk is thread-safe.
• strict::Thunk: Send + Sync, paradoxically strict thunks. strict::Thunk doesn't actually defer anything, and is provided to make it simpler to write code which is generic over strictness.
