In LLDB, the lldb_private::Debugger has static functions that hand out things
that are needed for the debugger to do its work, so I like the static function
here. We don't allow any llvm or clang code to make it through our public API
(in lldb::SB* classes), so we do need code inside the debugger to be able to
access global resources and the debugger class is where this should live.
We can also just have code like:
```
// NOTE: intentional leak to avoid issues with C++ destructor chain
static llvm::ThreadPool *g_thread_pool = nullptr;
static llvm::once_flag g_once_flag;
llvm::call_once(g_once_flag, []() {
g_thread_pool = new llvm::ThreadPool(llvm::optimal_concurrency());
});
return *g_thread_pool;
```
