Otherwise, we'll acquire it on every loop iteration, which can leave us
vulnerable to racing another thread for the acquisition of the main
context.

This can break methods like g_main_context_invoke, which try to acquire
a context to figure out if it can invoke the method synchronously or
need to defer to an idle. In these cases, it isn't guaranteed that the
invocation function will be invoked in the default main context,
e.g. the one that GApplication is holding.

This also matches what GMainLoop is doing.
