lazy_static has better ergonomics at the call/access sites (it returns a
reference to the type directly, whereas with once_cell we get a static Lazy<T>
that we must dereference instead) but the once_cell api is slated for
integration into the standard library [0] and has been the "preferred" way to
declare static global variables w/ deferred initialization. It's also less
opaque and easier to comprehend how it works, I guess?
(Both `once_cell` and `lazy_static` are already in our dependency tree, so this
should have no detrimental effect on build times. It actually negligibly
*improves* build times by not using macros, reducing the amount of expansion the
compiler has to do by a miniscule amount.)

It's debatable whether is_ascii_digit() is better than (0..=9).contains().
(Probably we want to go with the mainstream Rust choice eventually.)
Let's disable the warning for now since it's not terribly important.
We should only be dealing with wcharz_t at the language boundary.
Rust callers should prefer the equivalent &wstr.
Since wcsfilecmp() is no longer exposed directly it can take &wstr only.
This is early work but I guess there's no harm in pushing it?
Some thoughts on the conventions:
Types that live only inside Rust follow Rust naming convention
("FeatureMetadata").
Types that live on both sides of the language boundary follow the existing
naming ("feature_flag_t").
The alternative is to define a type alias ("using feature_flag_t =
rust::FeatureFlag") but that doesn't seem to be supported in "[cxx::bridge]"
blocks. We could put it in a header ("future_feature_flags.h").
"feature_metadata_t" is a variant of "FeatureMetadata" that can cross
the language boundary. This has the advantage that we can avoid tainting
"FeatureMetadata" with "CxxString" and such. This is an experimental approach,
probably not what we should do in general.
The original implementation without the test took me 3 hours (first time
seriously looking into this)
The functions take "wcharz_t" for smooth integration with existing C++ callers.
This is at the expense of Rust callers, which would prefer "&wstr". Would be
nice to declare a function parameter that accepts both but I don't think
that really works since "wcharz_t" drops the lifetime annotation.
rustfmt removes the "::" prefix from qualifiers. This breaks the build because
I think a later "pub use ffi::*" results in "std" being an ambiguous reference.
This adds an implementation of fish_wcstoi in Rust, mirroring the one in
fish. As Rust does not have a string to number which infers the radix
(i.e. looks for leading 0x or 0), we add that manually.
