What's in this pull request?
This PR eliminates a race condition in NSError bridging, where we could end up observing uninitialized the userInfo dictionary in an _SwiftNativeNSError. This race was quite rare---we've seen it only a handful of times on the buildbots, and I've only managed to trigger it once locally---but the issue and fix have been verified by TSan. Big thanks to @gottesmm for getting a TSan build up and running so we could use it here.
