Refactor representation of thread local state. (#751)

* Lift checking for init to ThreadAlloc

The check init code was tightly integrated into LocalAllocator.  This commit pull that code out into ThreadAlloc, and passes a template parameter into the remaining LocalAllocator to perform the relevant TLS manipulations.  This removes some of the awkward layering around register_clean_up.

* Reduce size of test due to failures.

Fully disable lotsofthreads test

Need to investigate if the test is unreliable, or we have actually
regressed perf.  A quick mimalloc-bench didn't show any regressions.

* Simplify message queue initialisation

This introduces one additional branch on when processing a batch of messages, but it is likely to only be hit when a lot of messages are processed.

* Patch Domestication test.

* Refactor CoreAlloc/LocalAlloc

This combines the notion of CoreAlloc, LocalAlloc and LocalCache into a single class.  Previously, these were separated so that a more complex structure would be stored directly in the TLS.  This however, proved to be bad for compatibility if the allocator is part of the libc implementation.

This commit collapses all the stages of the allocator into a single class. This simplifies the sequencing and overall is a nice reduction in complexity.

* Re-enable lots of threads test.

* Reenable concept using alternative lazy checking for concepts.

* Self code review
