Implementing Hazard Pointers in Rust (part 3)

Implementing Hazard Pointers in Rust (part 3)

We continue our journey implementing Hazard Pointers (https://erdani.org/publications/cuj-2004-12.pdf) in Rust. We follow along with the C++ implementation in Facebook's Folly library (https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/synchronization/Hazptr.h), starting from where we left off last time: https://github.com/jonhoo/haphazard/tree/29b41ba3c3e31a7b044e489a67d61d5a009e9d3f. Much of the stream is catching up with the change to folly since last time (https://github.com/facebook/folly/commits/main?before=d2154674583a01e9d76e2c38e1c37e531132099e+35&branch=main&path%5B%5D=folly&path%5B%5D=synchronization), though we do also get to writing some concurrency tests with loom (https://docs.rs/loom/).
