reordered smart pointer exercises
Switched rc and arc so rc comes first, since arc is, like the name implies, atomic rc. This gives the exercises a more logical progression. Moved all smart pointer exercises (box, rc, arc, cow) under threads into their own section. Threads are used in the smart pointer exercises, so they should be introduced first.
