Remove unneeded Send bounds from std::sync::mpsc.

The requirements `T: Send` only matter if the channel crosses thread
boundaries i.e. the `Sender` or `Reciever` are sent across thread
boundaries, and which is adequately controlled by the impls of `Send`
for them. If `T` doesn't satisfy the bounds, then the types cannot cross
thread boundaries and so everything is still safe (the pair of types
collectively behave like a `Rc<RefCell<VecDeque>>`, or something of that
nature).
