The way we were using the singleton here was, I think, not particularly threadsafe. This might have been leading to a Heisenbug in the KNIME nodes.
The changes here outsource worrying about thread-safe initialization to boost::flyweight (yay!).
I didn't add any new tests because we're already doing current multi-threaded UFF and conformer generation (this also uses UFF parameters) tests. Those weren't showing any problem and I didn't manage to come up with anything that would reproducibly show the problem.
