C++11 guarantees thread-safe initialization of static variables inside
functions. This is a more restricted form of std::call_once or
pthread_once_t (e.g., single call site), so the compiler might be able
to generate better code [1]. Equally important, having less
platform-dependent code in env_posix.cc makes it easier to port to other
platforms.
Due to the change above, this CL introduced a new approach for storing
the singleton PosixEnv instance returned by Env::Default(). The new
approach avoids a dynamic memory allocation, which eliminates the false
positive from LeakSanitizer reported in
