THRIFT-4176: Implement threaded server for Rust
Client: rs

* Create a TIoChannel construct
* Separate TTransport into TReadTransport and TWriteTransport
* Restructure types to avoid shared ownership
* Remove user-visible boxing and ref-counting
* Replace TSimpleServer with a thread-pool based TServer

This closes #1255
