[core] Make sure ThreadLocal will not own the pointer it is managing

ThreadLocal should not own the pointer it is managing because
the use case in Mapbox GL is to keep a pointer to a stack allocated
object, like:

```
MyObject foo;
threadLocal.set(&foo);
```

To keep consistency, it is required that we clear the managed
object before ThreadLocal gets destroyed by setting it to `nullptr`.
