more intuitive portable-atomic feature etc.

Fixes #170 - non-breaking feature update - based on & supersedes PR #171

UPDATED as follows

• include dep: syntax updates from PR Use dep: syntax for portable-atomic #171
• update some documentation to update reference & avoid duplicated info
• increase MSRV to 1.60 in Cargo.toml & in .github/
• crate version -> 0.10.0

I have also tried CI in my own fork: brody4hire#1

P.S. I was hoping that the implicit feature support would be removed in Rust 2024, which is part of the root cause, but this update is now held up: rust-lang/cargo#12826 (comment)

Any chance you could bump the MSRV too? You can find it in .github/

[brody4hire]

I have now rebased this PR on PR #171, updated some documentation to avoid duplicated info, updated MSRV in both Cargo.toml & .github/, etc. I have also updated the crate version in its own commit in case this may be helpful.

Please let me know if anything else is needed from me, my apologies for the delay.

Please let me know if anything else is needed from me.

Thanks, will try to get some time to review this in full this week!

I couldn't find any issues, thanks for the PR!

Do you need this in a public release soon, or are you happy to hold on until the next one?

Do you need this in a public release soon, or are you happy to hold on until the next one?

I should be able to work around this, but a public release could be quite a bit helpful.

I am preparing to announce a fork of rustls for extry-tiny embedded systems, and would likely want to include a fork of rustls-rustcrypto provider that uses spin with this issue fixed: brody4hire/rustls-rustcrypto#2

I found the requirement to use underscore for the portable-atomic feature to avoid build issues to be really confusing, one more thing to document to avoid tripping up any possible downstream users.

Thanks for taking the time to review & merge these updates 🎉
