Provides read-only counterpart to standard [`Cell`] type.
Unlike [`Cell`], [`ReadCell`] cannot be used to mutate inner value, just like [`&T`],
but similar to [`Cell`] it cannot be used to get [`&T`] to the inner value.

While [`&Cell<T>`] references and [`&T`] references to the same value cannot coexist,
[`&ReadCell<T>`] reference and [`&Cell<T>`] reference to the same value can coexist.
As well as [`&ReadCell<T>`] reference and [`&T`] reference to the same value can coexist.
