Move UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe to core
They were previously only available in std::panic, not core::panic.

Where this is relevant: trait objects! Inside a `#![no_std]` library it's otherwise impossible to have a struct holding a trait object, and at the same time can be used from downstream std crates in a way that doesn't interfere with catch_unwind.
```rust
// common library
#![no_std]
pub struct Thing {
pub(crate) x: &'static (dyn SomeTrait + Send + Sync),
}
pub(crate) trait SomeTrait {...}
```
```rust
// downstream application
fn main() {
let thing: library::Thing = ...;
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| { let _ = thing; }); // does not work :(
}
```
See a4131708e2/src/gradient.rs (L7-L15) for a real life example of needing to work around this problem. In particular that workaround would not even be viable if implementors of the trait were provided externally by a caller, as the `feature = "std"` would become non-additive in that case.
What happens without the UnwindSafe constraints:
```rust
fn main() {
let gradient = colorous::VIRIDIS;
let _ = std::panic::catch_unwind(|| { let _ = gradient; });
}
```
```console
error[E0277]: the type `(dyn colorous::gradient::EvalGradient + Send + Sync + 'static)` may contain interior mutability and a reference may not be safely transferrable across a catch_unwind boundary
