commit c3c702441137dc8f7ee0dd5ac313be96d625459a

    Make globals use sharedCAF
    
    Summary:
    The use of globals is quite painful when multiple rts are loaded, e.g.
    when plugins are loaded, which bring in a second rts. The sharedCAF
    appraoch was employed for the FastStringTable; I've taken the libery
    to extend this to the other globals I could find.
    
    This is a reboot of D2575, that should hopefully not exhibit the same
    windows build issues.
