Following up on rust-lang#87236, add comments to the unix command-line argument support explaining that the code doesn't mutate the system-provided argc/argv, and that this is why the code doesn't need a lock or special memory ordering.

Responding to the comment in #87236, release/acquire feels like it would obscure the intent here. This code is just deferring parsing for the system argc/argv, which is why relaxed is sufficient, but it's also the reason we don't need a mutex. If someone ever adds Rust code to mutate the argv array, they may need more than just release/acquire on argc/argv; they may need to reintroduce the mutex too. And they may need to think about potential interactions with C code which may also be able to observe the system-provided argv array (eg. if it's also registered in a .init_array function). |

Thanks! @bors r+ rollup
