You can now use a reference to CxxWString or an allocated UniquePtr<CxxWString>
to get an &wstr temporary to use without having to allocate again (e.g. via
`from_ffi()`).
wchar.rs should not import let alone reexport FFI strings.
Stop re-exporting utf32str! because we use L! instead.
In wchar_ffi.rs, stop re-exporting cxx::CxxWString because that hasn't
seen adoption.
I think we should use re-exports only for aliases like "wstr" or for aliases
into internal modules.
So I'd probably remove `pub use wchar_ffi::wcharz_t = crate::ffi::wcharz_t`
as well.

= note: `#[warn(clippy::explicit_auto_deref)]` on by default
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.)
