Return Arc from the create_node function to match other create_X func…

…tions (#294)

* Fine-grained locks. Made create_subscription, create_service, create_client not take a mutable self

* Return an Arc from rclrs::create_node to match other create_X functions

* Update spin* to take an Arc

* Fix clippy warning
