Potentially expose sync feature of icu_provider #641
Description
At least in Nova's usage, dropping of GC'd heap items (and generally will) can happen on threads other than the main JavaScript runtime thread.
For ZonedDateTime specifically, it is not currently Send due to using an Rc<Box<[u8]>> inside of icu_provider crate. The crate does offer a sync feature which would (presumably) switch to using Arc.
I assume this would be necessary for us to use temporal_rs safely; but maybe I'm mistaken?
