fix thread issue with PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT
The MY_CXT subsystem allows per-thread pseudo-static data storage. Part of the implementation for this involves each XS module being assigned a unique index in its my_cxt_index static var when first loaded. Because PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT bans any static vars, under those builds there is instead a table which maps the MY_CXT_KEY identifying string to index. Unfortunately, this table was allocated per-interpreter rather than globally, meaning if multiple threads tried to load the same XS module, crashes could ensue. This manifested itself in failures in ext/XS-APItest/t/keyword_plugin_threads.t The fix is relatively straightforward: allocate PL_my_cxt_keys globally rather than per-interpreter. Also record the size of this struct in a new var, PL_my_cxt_keys_size, rather than doing double duty on PL_my_cxt_size.
