lazy_static crate with once_cell#285Conversation
Piggybacking on the [motivation in winit]: `lazy_static!` is a macro whereas `once_cell` achieves the same using generics. Its implementation has also been [proposed for inclusion in `std`], making it easier for us to switch to a standardized version if/when that happens. The author of that winit PR is making this change to many more crates, slowly turning the scales in favour of `once_cell` in our dependency tree too. Furthermore `lazy_static` hasn't published any updates for 3 years, and the new syntax is closer for dropping this wrapping completely when the necessary constructors become `const` (i.e. switching to `parking_lot` will give us a [`const fn new()` on `RwLock`]) or this feature lands in stable `std`. [motivation in winit]: rust-windowing/winit#2313 [proposed for inclusion in `std`]: rust-lang/rust#74465 [`const fn new()` on `RwLock`]: https://docs.rs/lock_api/latest/lock_api/struct.RwLock.html#method.new
