bors-servo 2b4a7b0b7a Auto merge of #14053 - notriddle:flow_ref_unsafe, r=pcwalton
Make `FlowRef` a newtype

This creates a sharp distinction between `Arc<Flow>`s, which may be
owned by anyone, and `FlowRef`s, which may only be owned by the
traversal code. By checking the reference count, we ensure that a `Flow`
cannot be pointed to by `Arc`s and `FlowRef`s simultaneously.

This is not a complete fix for #6503, though it is a necessary start
(enforcing the no-aliasing rule of `FlowRef::deref_mut` will require far
more work).
