Backport of #53491

See that PR for details. The only conflict was an include in shell/common/node_bindings.cc (this branch does not have gin/per_context_data.h, which the change does not need).

Notes: Fixed a crash on Linux when process.env was written while another thread was reading the environment, and a memory leak when a worker thread exits.
