GH-49272: [C++][CI] Fix intermittent segfault in arrow-json-test on MinGW
MinGW's __emutls implementation for C++ thread_local has known race conditions during thread creation. When ThreadPool::LaunchWorkersUnlocked creates a new worker thread, the thread writes to the thread_local current_thread_pool_ variable. If __emutls hasn't finished initializing TLS for the new thread, this dereferences an invalid pointer, causing a segfault. Replace thread_local with native Win32 TLS API (TlsAlloc/TlsGetValue/ TlsSetValue) on MinGW to bypass the buggy __emutls emulation. Non-MinGW platforms continue using standard thread_local. Also add a stress test (MultipleChunksParallelStress) that runs parallel JSON reading 20 times to help expose intermittent threading races.
