Description
Opened by #1145. We didn't get to writing down any laws for Concurrent as part of that PR. @djspiewak has ideas on how we can formalize Ref and Deferred here: https://github.com/typelevel/cats-effect/issues/1017#issuecomment-682286555 .

Research direction
Start by reading the ideas in issue #1017, especially the linked comment, and review how the earlier PR #1145 relates to Concurrent. Define and document laws for Concurrent, including the proposed formalization of Ref and Deferred. Done means the agreed laws are written down and covered by the project’s law-checking tests.
