Module task

The maitake task system.

This module contains the code that spawns tasks on a scheduler, and manages the lifecycle of tasks once they are spawned. This includes the in-memory representation of spawned tasks (the Task type), and the handle used by the scheduler and other components of the runtime to reference a task once it is spawned (the TaskRef type).
