For the record, I am against singletons in general, and believe it's more maintainable to pass context objects through the call/instantiation stack, as is done in Envoy production code. However the test system employs a deep system of mocks that are constructed without context. As a result, any new context that may be needed in the future (e.g. SymbolTable in #4980, ThreadSystem in #5055 and #5072 and FileSystem in #5031) need a mechanism to plumb data into the system as instantiated during tests. I believe Api::OsSysCalls() is another example that might benefit from this. This class provides a mechanism to have a bounded-scope singleton, such that anywhere an instance of a type T is desired, the same instance will be available. Once all references to a Global go out of scope, the shared instance is destroyed and the pointer to it nulled. Thus, this singleton pattern has the property that between tests, the state will be completely reset, as long as there are no memory leaks. The new class, Test::Global, creates a potential conflict with tests that had declared using testing::Test;, so this PR also cleans those up and adds a format check to avoid having that pattern re-occur. Risk Level: the main risk here is that this class will be abused and used in lieu of proper object passing when that's most appropriate. However, the new library is declared as a bazel test library and is in the test/... tree, so hopefully -- with proper code reviews, the usage will be limited. Testing: //test/...

Description: This change modifies ApiImpl to delegate thread creation to a ThreadFactory instance and enables injecting a custom thread factory into the envoy server by wiring one in through MainCommonBase
Risk Level: low (mostly code refactoring)
Testing: unit and integration tests
