This PR suggests std::sync::LazyLock instead of once_cell::sync::Lazy.

This issue was discussed three months ago right after the stabilization of std::sync::LazyLock in Rust 1.80,
and since two more minor versions of Rust have been released since then,
I think it's about time.

Many thanks,

Closes #1217

thx!! Do we really want to mention 3rd party crates when the exact same functionality is available in stdlib?

they're used from inside a helper function. Instead, we recommend using
[`std::sync::LazyLock`] stabilized in [Rust 1.80], the [`once_cell`] crate, or
the [`lazy_static`] crate to ensure that regular expressions are compiled
exactly once. For example:

Is there a reason not to just use the LazyLock option? As a user without much idea on the history, it would be nice if there was just one standard and recommended option, the stdlib one.

Also the one that clippy recommends: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#non_std_lazy_statics

I found this PR (eventually) because clippy now has a pedantic lint against lazy_static: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#non_std_lazy_statics

Would be nice to get this landed so it's easy for folks who see that lint to update.
