Remove sync::Once::call_once 'static bound
See https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/sync-once-per-instance/7918 for more context.
Suggested r is @alexcrichton, the one who added the `'static` bound back in 2014. I don't want to officially r? though, if the system would even let me. I'd rather let the system choose the appropriate member since it knows more than I do.

The author of this diff is @alexcrichton. `sync::Once` now contains only a pointer to (privately hidden) `Waiter`s, which are all stack-allocated. The `'static` bound to `sync::Once` is thus unnecessary to guarantee that any OS primitives are non-relocatable.
As the `'static` bound is not required for `sync::Once`'s operation, removing it is strictly more useful. As an example, it allows attaching a one-time operation to instances rather than only to global singletons.
