Revert switch of env locking to rwlock, to fix deadlock in process spawning

This reverts commit 354f19cf24, reversing changes made to 0cfba2fd09.

PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81850 switched the environment lock from a mutex to an rwlock. However, process spawning (when not able to use `posix_spawn`) locks the environment before forking, and unlocks it after forking (in both the parent and the child). With a mutex, this works (although probably not correct even with a mutex). With an rwlock, on at least some targets, unlocking in the child does not work correctly, resulting in a deadlock.

This has manifested as CI hangs on i686 Linux; that target doesn't use `posix_spawn` in the CI environment due to the age of the installed C library (currently glibc 2.23). (Switching to `posix_spawn` would just mask this issue, though, which would still arise in any case that can't use `posix_spawn`.)

Some additional cleanup of environment handling around process spawning may help, but for now, revert the PR and go back to a standard mutex.

Fixes #82221
