Description

## Bug report

**Describe the bug**

I can't run two instances of the same app using `cloud_firestore` on Windows - the first window runs fine, but the second crashes immediately.

I can run multiple instances of Flutter apps that don't use `cloud_firestore` on Windows no problem.

### Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the Firestore example app: https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/tree/master/packages/cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore/example
2. Set `shouldUseFirestoreEmulator` to `false` (perhaps unnecessary, but I was unable to run the app with the emulator).
3. Run `flutter build windows`.
4. Run `build\windows\x86\runner\Release\cloud_firestore_example.exe`. Observe that it runs fine.
5. Without closing the first app, try running another instance of `cloud_firestore_example.exe`. Observe that it fails to start.

### Expected behavior

I should be able to run any number of instances of a Flutter app at the same time.

### Sample project

Firestore example app: https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/tree/master/packages/cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore/example

## Additional context

This is what I get when I attach VisualStudio Debugger:
```
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFD63275B0C in cloud_firestore_example.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: firebase::firestore::FirestoreInternalError at memory location 0x000000E3070FEF10.
