Share internal StandardExecutionContext delegates

This commit makes sure that the per-operation execution context for
caching and event listening does not recreate the default internal
delegates, but rather get initialized with a shared state.

This reduces the number of instances created per operation execution,
reducing the GC pressure as a result. This also makes sure that any
cache, such as the one in StandardTypeLocator, is reused.

Closes gh-31617
