Add no_std support to bevy_reflect (#16256)
# Objective

- Contributes to #15460

## Solution

- Added `std` feature (enabled by default)

## Testing

- CI
- `cargo check -p bevy_reflect --no-default-features --target
"x86_64-unknown-none"`
- UEFI demo application runs with this branch of `bevy_reflect`,
allowing `derive(Reflect)`

## Notes

- The [`spin`](https://crates.io/crates/spin) crate has been included to
provide `RwLock` and `Once` (as an alternative to `OnceLock`) when the
`std` feature is not enabled. Another alternative may be more desirable,
please provide feedback if you have a strong opinion here!
- Certain items (`Box`, `String`, `ToString`) provided by `alloc` have
been added to `__macro_exports` as a way to avoid `alloc` vs `std`
namespacing. I'm personally quite annoyed that we can't rely on `alloc`
as a crate name in `std` environments within macros. I'd love an
alternative to my approach here, but I suspect it's the least-bad
option.
- I would've liked to have an `alloc` feature (for allocation-free
`bevy_reflect`), unfortunately, `erased_serde` unconditionally requires
access to `Box`. Maybe one day we could design around this, but for now
it just means `bevy_reflect` requires `alloc`.

use crate::Reflect;
/// Marks a type as a [reflectable] wrapper for a remote type.
///
/// This allows types from external libraries (remote types) to be included in reflection.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// It is highly recommended to avoid implementing this trait manually and instead use the
/// [`#[reflect_remote]`](crate::reflect_remote) attribute macro.
/// This is because the trait tends to rely on [`transmute`], which is [very unsafe].
///
/// The macro will ensure that the following safety requirements are met:
/// - `Self` is a single-field tuple struct (i.e. a newtype) containing the remote type.
/// - `Self` is `#[repr(transparent)]` over the remote type.
///
/// Additionally, the macro will automatically generate [`Reflect`] and [`FromReflect`] implementations,
/// along with compile-time assertions to validate that the safety requirements have been met.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use bevy_reflect_derive::{reflect_remote, Reflect};
///
/// mod some_lib {
/// pub struct TheirType {
/// pub value: u32
/// }
/// }
///
/// #[reflect_remote(some_lib::TheirType)]
/// struct MyType {
/// pub value: u32
/// }
///
/// #[derive(Reflect)]
/// struct MyStruct {
/// #[reflect(remote = MyType)]
/// data: some_lib::TheirType,
/// }
/// ```
///
/// [reflectable]: Reflect
/// [`transmute`]: core::mem::transmute
