This PR moves the processing of options passed to the CLI from
`shell.cpp` to `Shell.lean`.
As with previous ports, this attempts to mirror as much of the original
behavior as possible, Benefits to be gained from the ported code can
come in later PRs. There should be no significant behavioral changes
from this port. Nonetheless, error reporting has changed some, hopefully
for the better. For instance, errors for improper argument
configurations has been made more consistent (e.g., Lean will now error
if numeric arguments fall outside the expected range for an option).
(Redo of #11345 to fix Windows issue.)

This PR removes an old workaround around non-implemented C++11 features
in the thread finalization.
This `ifdef` dates back to approximately 2015 as can be seen
[here](https://github.com/leanprover/lean3/blame/master/src/util/thread.cpp#L177),
the comments mention that it was originally implemented because not all
compilers at the time were able to support the C++11 `thread_local`
keyword. 10 years later this is hopefully the case and we can remove
this workaround.
There is an additional motivation for doing this,
`lean::initialize_thread` contains the following allocation:
```cpp
g_thread_finalizers_mgr = new thread_finalizers_manager;
```
this is supposed to be freed at some point but:
```cpp
// TODO(gabriel): race condition with thread finalizers
void delete_thread_finalizer_manager() {
// delete g_thread_finalizers_mgr;
// g_thread_finalizers_mgr = nullptr;
}
```
so `g_thread_finalizers_mgr` leaks upon repeated invocation of
`lean::initialize_thread`.
Note that Windows has already been using this alternative implementation
for a while so the alternative implementation has (hopefully) not rotten
away in the meantime.
@kha The runtime folder includes what is needed to link a
standalone Lean program. It is still contains some unnecessary files.
We will be able to remove them after we release Lean4.
