Description

With std::cell::LazyCell landing in Rust 1.80 (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cell/struct.LazyCell.html), I believe all of our uses of lazy_static! can be replaced. This will eliminate a dependency and some uneccessary macro magic.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find all uses of `lazy static!` in the codebase and replace each with `std::cell::LazyCell`. Ensure the project's minimum Rust version is at least 1.80.
