If it is smaller than 500 * (Maximum number of threads), the method reverts to the original
unthreaded version of the function. This old function is also the one used if the input
array has random access iterators.

This should fix slow python.api tests and hopefully should get rid of the timeouts on build servers.

Update to clang-format-5 and reformat the codebase 

This was a request after seeing #23083.

MSVC 2017 15.7 contains a bug where constant initialization no longer
takes place for objects with constructors marked constexpr such as
once_flag. This leaves once_flag susceptible to dynamic initialization
order problems and causes some singleton instances to be constructed
incorrectly. We put back our correct implementation (with some cleanup)
and await a fix from MS.

Something changed in VS2017 such that SingletonHolder::once_flag
was not always initialized before SingletonHolder::instance and
this caused multiple singleton instances to be created. In some
ways this was a timebomb as static initialization order is
undefined.

Previously getObjects in the ADS returned hidden workspaces
conditionally depending on the config setting. This commit adds an
option building on previous work completed in getObjectNames().

Allowing callers to specify whether to include hidden workspaces is
required for project recovery. The hidden workspace history can then be
saved out
