std: Synchronize access to global env during `exec`

This commit, after reverting #55359, applies a different fix for #46775
while also fixing #55775. The basic idea was to go back to pre-#55359
libstd, and then fix #46775 in a way that doesn't expose #55775.

The issue described in #46775 boils down to two problems:

* First, the global environment is reset during `exec` but, but if the
  `exec` call fails then the global environment was a dangling pointer
  into free'd memory as the block of memory was deallocated when
  `Command` is dropped. This is fixed in this commit by installing a
  `Drop` stack object which ensures that the `environ` pointer is
  preserved on a failing `exec`.

* Second, the global environment was accessed in an unsynchronized
  fashion during `exec`. This was fixed by ensuring that the
  Rust-specific environment lock is acquired for these system-level
  operations.

Thanks to Alex Gaynor for pioneering the solution here!

Closes #55775
