Add a safe abstraction for temporarily lending on-stack data into thread local storage. Use it in various places across the stack.

This fixes a use-after-free in pal_async, and it reduces the overhead of TLS in pal_async and underhill_threadpool.

// call is running, and the value is only dropped when the function
// passed to `loan` returns. Since `LoadCell` is not `Sync`, this cannot
// happen while `f` is running.
let v = unsafe { self.0.get().map(|v| v.as_ref()) };

Can we scope the unsafe brackets to just the as_ref call? Just to make it clear that the only thing unsafe that's happening is the conversion out of the NonNull

This change looks reasonable to me after Steven's last comment. Thanks for cleaning this up and fixing it John.
