This is a simplification of the internal `TaskQueue` API that moves the `TaskManager` to the `GlobalScope` itself. In addition, the handling of cancellers is moved to the `TaskManager` as well. This means that no arguments other than the `task` are necessary for queueing tasks, which makes the API a lot easier to use and cleaner. `TaskSource` now also keeps a copy of the canceller with it, so that they always know the proper way to cancel any tasks queued on them. There is one complication here. The event loop `sender` for dedicated workers is constantly changing as it is set to `None` when not handling messages. This is because this sender keeps a handle to the main thread's `Worker` object, preventing garbage collection while any messages are still in flight or being handled. This change allows setting the `sender` on the `TaskManager` to `None` to allow proper garbabge collection. Signed-off-by: Martin Robinson <mrobinson@igalia.com>
