Create bevy_platform_support Crate (#17250)
# Objective

- Contributes to #16877

## Solution

- Initial creation of `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `bevy_utils::Instant` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `portable-atomic`, `portable-atomic-util`, and
`critical-section` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.

## Testing

- CI

---

## Showcase

Instead of needing code like this to import an `Arc`:

```rust
#[cfg(feature = "portable-atomic")]
use portable_atomic_util::Arc;

#[cfg(not(feature = "portable-atomic"))]
use alloc::sync::Arc;
```

We can now use:

```rust
use bevy_platform_support::sync::Arc;
```

This applies to many other types, but the goal is overall the same:
allowing crates to use `std`-like types without the boilerplate of
conditional compilation and platform-dependencies.

## Migration Guide

- Replace imports of `bevy_utils::Instant` with
`bevy_platform_support::time::Instant`
- Replace imports of `bevy::utils::Instant` with
`bevy::platform_support::time::Instant`

## Notes

- `bevy_platform_support` hasn't been reserved on `crates.io`
- ~~`bevy_platform_support` is not re-exported from `bevy` at this time.
It may be worthwhile exporting this crate, but I am unsure of a
reasonable name to export it under (`platform_support` may be a bit
wordy for user-facing).~~
- I've included an implementation of `Instant` which is suitable for
`no_std` platforms that are not Wasm for the sake of eliminating feature
gates around its use. It may be a controversial inclusion, so I'm happy
to remove it if required.
- There are many other items (`spin`, `bevy_utils::Sync(Unsafe)Cell`,
etc.) which should be added to this crate. I have kept the initial scope
small to demonstrate utility without making this too unwieldy.
