The C++ version of this code simply copied the entire uvar table.
Today we take a reference. It's not clear which one is better.
Removal of locale variables like LC_ALL triggers variable change handlers
which call EnvStackImpl::get. This deadlocks because we still hold the lock
to protect the reference to all uvars. Work around this.
Closes#10513
We don't forward this variable for storage in any structs, so there's no reason
to go through an Arc instead of returning the `&'static EnvStack` directly.
NB: This particular change was safe, and passes all tests on its own.

These have clearer sync/unsync semantics and now ship with rust itself.
They don't paper over any possible cross-thread issues, and we can specifically
choose which we want for the purpose.
`Parser` is a single-threaded `!Send`, `!Sync` type and does not need to use
`Arc` for anything. We were using it because that's all we had for the parser's
`EnvStack`, but though that is *technically* protected internally by a mutex
(shared with global EnvStack), there's nothing to say that other parsers with a
narrower scope/lifetime on other threads will be necessarily using the same
backing mutex.
We can safely marshal the existing `Arc<EnvStack>` we get from
`environment::principal()` into an `Rc<EnvStack>` since the underlying reference
is always valid. To prove this point, we could have PRINCIPAL_STACK be a static
`EnvStack` and have `environment::principal()` use `Arc::from_raw()` to turn
that into an `Arc<EnvStack>`, but there's no need to factorize this process.
I think commit 8386088b3 (Update commandline state changes eagerly as well,
2024-04-11) broke the alt-s binding.
This is because we update the commandline state snapshot (which is consumed
by builtin commandline and others) only at key points. This seems like a
dubious optimization. With the new streamlined bind execution semantics,
this doesn't really work anymore; any shell command can run any number of
commands like "commandline -i foo" which should synchronize.
Do the simple thing of calculating the snapshot whenever needed.
