Fix: For single-threaded execution, there is no need for Send/`Sync…

…` bounds.

Some preliminary implementation with `OptionalSend`/`OptionalSync` was done
previously, it was not complete, though.

Currently, `Send`/`Sync` bounds are required for `AppData`, `RaftEntry`,
async runtime wrappers and other types, but they are only relevant for
multi-threaded access. If `openraft` is configured to use single-threaded
runtime, then they don't have to be `Send`/`Sync`.

Consequently replace `Send`/`Sync` bounds with `OptionalSend`/`OptionalSync`
bounds to clean it up.

This change also fixes `timeout.rs`, which seems to be unused so far, but
didn't properly use `AsyncRuntime` abstraction.

Two points for the future:
- We should add at least a compile test where `singlethreaded` feature is
  set to test it.
- Later, even `Arc` could be replaced with a single-threaded counterpart
  to prevent the need for atomic refcounting.
