Add a constructor to allow for global absl::Mutex instances.

This adds a new constexpr constructor to absl::Mutex, invoked with the absl::kConstInit tag value, which is intended to be used to construct Mutex instances with static storage duration.

What's tricky about is absl::Mutex (like std::mutex) is not a trivially destructible class, so by the letter of the law, accessing a global Mutex instance after it is destroyed results in undefined behavior.  Despite this, we take care in the destructor to not invalidate the memory layout of the Mutex.  Using a kConstInit-constructed global Mutex after it is destroyed happens to work on the toolchains we use.  Google relies heavily on this behavior internally.

Code sanitizers that detect undefined behavior are able to notice use-after-free of globals, and might complain about this pattern.

Use a shim #define for wchar_t in msvc in int128.

On ancient versions of msvc and with some compatibility flags on wchar_t is a typedef for unsigned short, whereas on standards-conforming versions wchar_t is a typedef for __wchar_t.  The first situation causes int128 to not compile as you can't define both `operator wchar_t()` and `operator unsigned short()` because they are the same type.

This CL introduces a wrapper #define in order to abstract over the different typedefs for wchar_t.  We do a define instead of a typedef so that we can #undef at the end and not leak the symbol, since we need it in a header.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dh8che7s(v=vs.140) has more detail about the underlying problem.

+
+// In general, objects with static storage duration (such as global variables)
+// can trigger tricky object lifetime situations.  Attempting to access them
+// from the constructors or destructors of other global objects can result in
+// undefined behavior, unless their constructors and destructors are designed
+// with this issue in mind.
+//
+// The normal way to deal with this issue in C++11 is to use constant
+// initialization and trivial destructors.
+//
+// Constant initialization is guaranteed to occur before any other code
+// executes.  Constructors that are declared 'constexpr' are eligible for
+// constant initialization.  You can annotate a variable declaration with the
+// ABSL_CONST_INIT macro to express this intent.  For compilers that support
+// it, this annotation will cause a compilation error for declarations that
+// aren't subject to constant initialization (perhaps because a runtime value
+// was passed as a constructor argument).
+//
+// On program shutdown, lifetime issues can be avoided on global objects by
+// ensuring that they contain  trivial destructors.  A class has a trivial
+// destructor unless it has a user-defined destructor, a virtual method or base
+// class, or a data member or base class with a non-trivial destructor of its
+// own.  Objects with static storage duration and a trivial destructor are not
+// cleaned up on program shutdown, and are thus safe to access from other code
+// running during shutdown.
+//
+// For a few core Abseil classes, we make a best effort to allow for safe global
+// instances, even though these classes have non-trivial destructors.  These
+// objects can be created with the absl::kConstInit tag.  For example:
+//   ABSL_CONST_INIT absl::Mutex global_mutex(absl::kConstInit);
+//
+// The line above declares a global variable of type absl::Mutex which can be
+// accessed at any point during startup or shutdown.  global_mutex's destructor
+// will still run, but will not invalidate the object.  Note that C++ specifies
+// that accessing an object after its destructor has run results in undefined
+// behavior, but this pattern works on the toolchains we support.
+//
+// The absl::kConstInit tag should only be used to define objects with static
+// or thread_local storage duration.
