Matthew Flatt 2d4f3e2ac9 remove the "racket-pkgs" directory layer
The layer is now redundant, since everything left in "pkgs" is in the
"racket-pkgs" category.

@title[#:tag "all-sync" #:style 'toc]{Synchronization}
Racket's synchronization toolbox spans three layers:
@itemize[
@item{@tech{synchronizable events} --- a general framework for
synchronization;}
@item{@tech{channels} --- a primitive that can be used, in principle,
to build most other kinds of synchronizable events (except the ones
that compose events); and}
@item{@tech{semaphores} --- a simple and especially cheap primitive
for synchronization.}
