spin-rs is now maintained #8

Hello! I've taken over maintenance of spin-rs. It now has support for lock_api and Send/Sync guards among other things. I doubt it'll have much bearing on spinning_top, but I thought you'd be interested in this (I'm told that spin-rs's lack of maintenance was the primary driving force behind this crate's development).

Great to hear that! I always liked the crate, so thanks a lot for taking over maintenance!

I still think it's worth keeping spinning_top as a simple alternative. It's not much work maintaining it since it is only a very lightweight lock_api wrapper and it's always good to have alternative implementations of such fundamental functionality.

@phil-opp Absolutely! I use spinning_top in several of my own projects so I'm happy to see it sticking around. Friendly competition is always welcome!
