1. Replace ancient lazy_static crate with once_cell or const slices …

   Piggybacking on the [motivation in winit]: `lazy_static!` is a macro
   whereas `once_cell` achieves the same using generics.  Its
   implementation has also been [proposed for inclusion in `std`], making
   it easier to switch to a standardized version if/when that happens.  The
   author of that winit PR is making this change to many more crates,
   slowly turning the scales in favour of `once_cell` in most dependency
   trees.  Furthermore `lazy_static` hasn't published any updates for 3
   years.
   
   See also [the `once_cell` F.A.Q.].
   
   In addition "constant" `Vec`tor allocations don't need to be wrapped in
   a `lazy_static!` macro call at all but can be replaced with true `const`
   slices (or `const` sized arrays, but those are slightly more tedious to
   construct).

   [proposed for inclusion in `std`]: rust-lang/rust#74465
