I've renamed the channel module for the MPMC as mpmc. There was a previous debate about this, but I feel that the strategy here avoids importing `channel::channel`. The change leaves `signal::Signal`, but I think that's ok. It is all a bit subjective of course. The bottom line for me is that I really like the term mpmc - it means something to me and aligns with broader naming e.g. in Tokio.
- Allow initializing in a static, without Forever.
- Remove ability to close, since in embedded enviromnents channels usually live forever and don't get closed.
- Remove MPSC restriction, it's MPMC now. Rename "mpsc" to "channel".
- `Sender` and `Receiver` are still available if you want to enforce a piece of code only has send/receive access, but are optional: you can send/receive directly into the Channel if you want.
613: Rust stable support r=Dirbaio a=Dirbaio
This PR adds (limited) stable Rust support!
The drawbacks are:
- No `#[embassy::task]`, `#[embassy::main]`. (requires `type_alias_impl_trait`). You have to manually allocate the tasks somewhere they'll live forever. See [example](https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/blob/master/examples/nrf/src/bin/raw_spawn.rs)
- No async trait impls (requires GATs). Note that the full API surface of HALs is still available through inherent methods: #552#581
- Some stuff is not constructible in const (requires `const_fn_trait_bound`), although there's an (ugly) workaround for the generic `Mutex`.
So it's not that bad in the end, it's fully usable for shipping production-ready firmwares. We'll still recommend nightly as the default, until GATs and `type_alias_impl_trait` are stable.

A new `split` method is introduced such that the Uarte tx and rx can be used from separate tasks. An MPSC is used to illustrate how data may be passed between these tasks.
