Right now, a direct reference to the target TaskPool is required to launch tasks on the pools, despite the three newtyped pools (AsyncComputeTaskPool, ComputeTaskPool, and IoTaskPool) effectively acting as global instances. The need to pass a TaskPool reference adds notable friction to spawning subtasks within existing tasks. Possible use cases for this may include chaining tasks within the same pool like spawning separate send/receive I/O tasks after waiting on a network connection to be established, or allowing cross-pool dependent tasks like starting dependent multi-frame computations following a long I/O load.
Other task execution runtimes provide static access to spawning tasks (i.e. `tokio::spawn`), which is notably easier to use than the reference passing required by `bevy_tasks` right now.
This PR makes does the following:
* Adds `*TaskPool::init` which initializes a `OnceCell`'ed with a provided TaskPool. Failing if the pool has already been initialized.
* Adds `*TaskPool::get` which fetches the initialized global pool of the respective type or panics. This generally should not be an issue in normal Bevy use, as the pools are initialized before they are accessed.
* Updated default task pool initialization to either pull the global handles and save them as resources, or if they are already initialized, pull the a cloned global handle as the resource.
This should make it notably easier to build more complex task hierarchies for dependent tasks. It should also make writing bevy-adjacent, but not strictly bevy-only plugin crates easier, as the global pools ensure it's all running on the same threads.
One alternative considered is keeping a thread-local reference to the pool for all threads in each pool to enable the same `tokio::spawn` interface. This would spawn tasks on the same pool that a task is currently running in. However this potentially leads to potential footgun situations where long running blocking tasks run on `ComputeTaskPool`.
# Objective
Fixes#1529
Run bevy_ecs in miri
## Solution
- Don't set thread names when running in miri rust-lang/miri/issues/1717
- Update `event-listener` to `2.5.2` as previous versions have UB that is detected by miri: [event-listener commit](1fa31c553e)
- Ignore memory leaks when running in miri as they are impossible to track down rust-lang/miri/issues/1481
- Make `table_add_remove_many` test less "many" because miri is really quite slow :)
- Make CI run `RUSTFLAGS="-Zrandomize-layout" MIRIFLAGS="-Zmiri-ignore-leaks -Zmiri-tag-raw-pointers -Zmiri-disable-isolation" cargo +nightly miri test -p bevy_ecs`
What is says on the tin.
This has got more to do with making `clippy` slightly more *quiet* than it does with changing anything that might greatly impact readability or performance.
that said, deriving `Default` for a couple of structs is a nice easy win
This PR is part of the issue #3492.
# Objective
- Add and update the bevy_tasks documentation to achieve a 100% documentation coverage (sans `prelude` module)
- Add the #![warn(missing_docs)] lint to keep the documentation coverage for the future.
## Solution
- Add and update the bevy_math documentation.
- Add the #![warn(missing_docs)] lint.
- Added doctest wherever there should be in the missing docs.
#3457 adds the `doc_markdown` clippy lint, which checks doc comments to make sure code identifiers are escaped with backticks. This causes a lot of lint errors, so this is one of a number of PR's that will fix those lint errors one crate at a time.
This PR fixes lints in the `bevy_tasks` crate.
This PR is easiest to review commit by commit.
Followup on https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/1309#issuecomment-767310084
- [x] Switch from a bash script to an xtask rust workspace member.
- Results in ~30s longer CI due to compilation of the xtask itself
- Enables Bevy contributors on any platform to run `cargo ci` to run linting -- if the default available Rust is the same version as on CI, then the command should give an identical result.
- [x] Use the xtask from official CI so there's only one place to update.
- [x] Bonus: Run clippy on the _entire_ workspace (existing CI setup was missing the `--workspace` flag
- [x] Clean up newly-exposed clippy errors
~#1388 builds on this to clean up newly discovered clippy errors -- I thought it might be nicer as a separate PR.~ Nope, merged it into this one so CI would pass.

While generally speaking the calling thread would have picked up the task first anyways, I don't think it makes much sense usually to block the calling thread until another thread wakes and does the work.
* Switch from the deprecated `multitask` crate to `async-executor`
* async-executor appears to be essentially multitask 0.3
* use block_on in futures_lite instead of pollster because futures_lite is already in the dependency list of async-executor
