Simplify output capturing

This is a sequence of incremental improvements to the unstable/internal `set_panic` and `set_print` mechanism used by the `test` crate:

1. Remove the `LocalOutput` trait and use `Arc<Mutex<dyn Write>>` instead of `Box<dyn LocalOutput>`. In practice, all implementations of `LocalOutput` were just `Arc<Mutex<..>>`. This simplifies some logic and removes all custom `Sink` implementations such as `library/test/src/helpers/sink.rs`. Also removes a layer of indirection, as the outermost `Box` is now gone. It also means that locking now happens per `write_fmt`, not per individual `write` within. (So `"{} {}\n"` now results in one `lock()`, not four or more.)

2. Since in all cases the `dyn Write`s were just `Vec<u8>`s, replace the type with `Arc<Mutex<Vec<u8>>>`. This simplifies things more, as error handling and flushing can be removed now. This also removes the hack needed in the default panic handler to make this work with `::realstd`, as (unlike `Write`) `Vec<u8>` is from `alloc`, not `std`.

3. Replace the `RefCell`s by regular `Cell`s. The `RefCell`s were mostly used as `mem::replace(&mut *cell.borrow_mut(), something)`, which is just `Cell::replace`. This removes an unecessary bookkeeping and makes the code a bit easier to read.

4. Merge `set_panic` and `set_print` into a single `set_output_capture`. Neither the test crate nor rustc (the only users of this feature) have a use for using these separately. Merging them simplifies things even more. This uses a new function name and feature name, to make it clearer this is internal and not supposed to be used by other crates.

Might be easier to review per commit.
