Optimize jobserver try_acquire (#1037)

* Bump dep jobserver from 0.1.20 to 0.1.30

Signed-off-by: Jiahao XU <[email protected]>

* Add `parallel::OnceLock` impl copied from `std::sync::OnceLock`

Signed-off-by: Jiahao XU <[email protected]>

* Optimize `inherited_jobserver` acquire

First try `jobserver::Client::try_acquire`, which will work:
 - If a fifo is used as jobserver
 - On linux and:
    - preadv2 with non-blocking read available (>=5.6)
    - /proc is available
 - On Windows
 - On wasm

if not, we will simply fallback to help thread implementation, spawning one
thread to maintain compatibility with other platforms.

* Use `OnceLock` in `JobTokenServer::new`

Also impls `Send`, `Sync`, `RefUnwindSafe` and `UnwindSafed` when the `T`
meets the criterior.

* Replace vendored `OnceLock` with dep `once_cell`

Signed-off-by: Jiahao XU <[email protected]>

* Fix dep: `once_cell` is needed on all targets

whenever feature parallel is enabled.

* Refactor: `ActiveJobTokenServer::new` no longer returns `Result`

There is no need to, it never fails.

* Add back TODO
