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.

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.
