>> The common theme in all failures that we have seen is VM exiting when `ArchiveWorkers` (`AW`) are still actively waiting on related `Semaphores`. Since the `AW` were static, the destructors for `Semaphores` would run as part of `AW` destruction sequence, and what would make the active workers fail.

>>   1. `AW` is now a structured stack object. `AW` instances are not exposed statically, so even the abnormal VM termination would not break semaphores. The normal scoping rules would make sure `AW` is shutdown on all normal paths.
>>   2. We move `AW` use mark to the only place it is currently used. This allows us to further insulate from `AW` problems if we flip the `AOTCacheParallelRelocation` flag back to `false` in the field.
>>   3. `AW` is now a single-use object. Making it reusable proves to be fairly hard, especially when workers are lagging behind during the startup or wakeups. Quite a bit of that can be mitigated by smart shutdown protocol, but it requires more coordination, and extra pool work. Single use `AW` is significantly easier to reason about. We can re-instate reusability in/when we need it.
