There are OSs that always return the lowest free value.
The algorithm in `lazy_init` always avoids keys with the
sentinel value.
In affected OSs, this means that each call to `lazy_init`
will always request two keys from the OS and returns/frees
the first one (with sentinel value) immediately afterwards.
By making the sentinel value configurable, affected OSs can
use a different value than zero to prevent this performance
issue.
The oldest occurence is from 9e224c2bf18ebf8f871efb2e1aba43ed7970ebb7,
which is from the pre-1.0 days. In the years since then, std::sys still
hasn't been exported, and the last attempt was met with strong criticism:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97151
Thus, removing the "yet" part makes a lot of sense.
The (unsafe) Mutex from sys_common had a rather complicated interface.
You were supposed to call init() manually, unless you could guarantee it
was neither moved nor used reentrantly.
Calling `destroy()` was also optional, although it was unclear if 1)
resources might be leaked or not, and 2) if destroy() should only be
called when `init()` was called.
This allowed for a number of interesting (confusing?) different ways to
use this Mutex, all captured in a single type.
In practice, this type was only ever used in two ways:
1. As a static variable. In this case, neither init() nor destroy() are
called. The variable is never moved, and it is never used
reentrantly. It is only ever locked using the LockGuard, never with
raw_lock.
2. As a Boxed variable. In this case, both init() and destroy() are
called, it will be moved and possibly used reentrantly.
No other combinations are used anywhere in `std`.
This change simplifies things by splitting this Mutex type into
two types matching the two use cases: StaticMutex and MovableMutex.
The interface of both new types is now both safer and simpler. The first
one does not call nor expose init/destroy, and the second one calls
those automatically in its new() and Drop functions. Also, the locking
functions of MovableMutex are no longer unsafe.
