rust: configfs: require thread-safe callback data

The Rust configfs abstractions do not fully constrain callback data for
cross-thread use. Add the missing `Send` and `Sync` requirements.

Specifically, make the following changes:

1. Require `Data: Send` when implementing `Send` for `Subsystem<Data>`,
   since the subsystem stores its data by value.
2. Make `GroupOperations` a `Sync` supertrait because `make_group` and
   `drop_item` receive `&self` from foreign threads. Require `Child: Send`
   because configfs may release child groups on an arbitrary thread.
3. Require `AttributeOperations::Data: Sync` because its callbacks receive
   `&Data` from foreign threads.
4. Update the safety comments in FFI callbacks that call `get_group_data`
   to cite these bounds as justification for sharing the returned
   references with the callback thread.
5. Remove redundant `Child: 'static` bounds from `GroupOperationsVTable`
   and `new_with_child_ctor`.
