`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit` calls `Arc::try_new(MaybeUninit::uninit())`.
This results in the uninitialized memory being placed on the stack,
which may be arbitrarily large due to the generic `T` and thus could
cause a stack overflow for large types.
Change the implementation to use the pin-init API which enables in-place
initialization. In particular it avoids having to first construct and
then move the uninitialized memory from the stack into the final location.
