dataphract 1914a3f288 fix: explicitly specify required version of async-task (#6509)
# Objective

Attempting to build `bevy_tasks` produces the following error:

```
error[E0599]: no method named `is_finished` found for struct `async_executor::Task` in the current scope
  --> /[...]]/bevy/crates/bevy_tasks/src/task.rs:51:16
   |
51 |         self.0.is_finished()
   |                ^^^^^^^^^^^ method not found in `async_executor::Task<T>`

```

It looks like this was introduced along with `Task::is_finished`, which delegates to `async_task::Task::is_finished`. However, the latter was only introduced in `async-task` 4.2.0; `bevy_tasks` does not explicitly depend on `async-task` but on `async-executor` ^1.3.0, which in turn depends on `async-task` ^4.0.0.

## Solution

Add an explicit dependency on `async-task` ^4.2.0.

bevy_tasks

A refreshingly simple task executor for bevy. :)

This is a simple threadpool with minimal dependencies. The main usecase is a scoped fork-join, i.e. spawning tasks from a single thread and having that thread await the completion of those tasks. This is intended specifically for bevy as a lighter alternative to rayon for this specific usecase. There are also utilities for generating the tasks from a slice of data. This library is intended for games and makes no attempt to ensure fairness or ordering of spawned tasks.

It is based on async-executor, a lightweight executor that allows the end user to manage their own threads. async-executor is based on async-task, a core piece of async-std.

A very small dependency list is a key feature of this module
