Document options for !Sync types for Component and Resources (#6864)
# Objective It's not clear to users how to handle `!Sync` types as components and resources in the absence of engine level support for them. ## Solution Added a section to `Component`'s and `Resource`'s type level docs on available options for making a type `Sync` when it holds `!Sync` fields, linking `bevy_utils::synccell::SyncCell` and the currently unstable `std::sync::Exclusive`. Also added a compile_fail doctest that illustrates how to apply `SyncCell`. These will break when/if #6572 gets merged, at which point these docs should be updated.
