concurrency: demonstrate dynamic ownership with Arc

Ownership is the responsibility to free a value. Previously, `v` was
always freed by the main thread because it kept the original `Arc`
instance. It was difficult to explain why this example did not simply
use scoped threads instead.

Now we see that multi-threaded dynamic ownership with `Arc` results
in a dynamic decision of which thread will clean up a given value.
