Bug #17203: Logger::Formatter won't work with non main Ractor
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17203

* Author: maciej.mensfeld (Maciej Mensfeld)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.0.0preview1 (2020-09-25 master 0096d2b895) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
``` ruby
class Rogger < Ractor
  def self.new
    super do
      # STDOUT cannot be referenced but $stdout can
      logger = ::Logger.new($stdout)
 
      # Run the requested operations on our logger instance
      while data = recv
        logger.public_send(data[0], *data[1])
      end
    end
  end
  
  # Really cheap logger API :)
  def method_missing(m, *args, &_block)
    self << [m, *args]
  end
end
 
class Rails
  LOGGER = Rogger.new
 
  def self.logger
    LOGGER
  end
end
 
Ractor.new do
  Rails.logger.info "Hello"
end
```

running this ends up with:

```bash
terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):
ruby/3.0.0/logger/formatter.rb:15:in `call': can not access global variables $$ from non-main Ractors (RuntimeError)
  from ruby/3.0.0/logger.rb:586:in `format_message'
  from ruby/3.0.0/logger.rb:476:in `add'
  from ruby/3.0.0/logger.rb:529:in `info'
  from test.rb:23:in `public_send'
  from test.rb:23:in `block in new'
```

however the same with fixed formatter works.
