Auto merge of #42419 - ucarion:ucarion-explain-rc-arc-abbrev, r=frewsxcv

Explicate what "Rc" and "Arc" stand for.

A person on the weekly "Easy Questions" Reddit thread [was mystified by what `Arc`/`Rc` means](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6dyud9/hey_rustaceans_got_an_easy_question_ask_here/did87ds/). Though this is explained in various places, it's not mentioned in the documentation directly.

This PR adds an explanation of the `Rc`/`Arc` acronyms to their respective documentations. There are two things I'm not sure of:

* Does "Rc" mean "Reference Count**er**" or "Reference Count**ed**"? ~~I went with the former.~~ *Edit:* I've changed this to use the latter alternative.
* Should this information be spelled out elsewhere, such as in the docs for the `rc` module?
