Now that once_cell is being pulled into the standard library in 1.70, we can bump to that and utilize the new standardized interface. Or, I can make similar modifications to the once_cell version to allow for dependency injection. @estk I'll defer to you on that decision. I know 1.70 is only 8 months old.

Ya lets stick to 1.69 for now

@estk Swapped to OnceCell instead. I kept the version using the standard library in a separate branch that I'll submit towards the middle of the year when we look at moving up.
