Summary:
This refactors ReactNativeFeatureFlagsAccessor in C++ to improve its thread-safety:

  • It makes all cached feature flags atomic to prevent data corruption when writing them concurrently.
  • It refactors the list of accessed feature flags to be an array of atomic character pointers instead of a vector.

Performance-wise, this is lock-free so it would still be fast enough for our use cases.

Semantic-wise, this implementation could lead to feature flags being initialized more than once (if 2 threads happen to access the same feature flag before it has been initialized), but that's ok. The only consequence of this would be accessing the provider twice, but the end state of the accessor is the same (the same value would be cached and the flag would still be marked as accessed).
