Define sync hass.create_task function

[KapJI]

Proposed change

For async_add_job which expects Callable there's a sync counterpart: add_job. But there's no sync counterpart for async_create_task which expects Coroutine, although it's needed sometimes.

Right now add_job is used for that but this bypasses type safety. Here is how it's being used:

def add_job(self, target: Callable[..., Any], *args: Any) -> None:

...

 self.loop.call_soon_threadsafe(self.async_add_job, target, *args)

...

def async_add_job(
        self, target: Callable[..., Any], *args: Any
    ) -> asyncio.Future | None:

...

  if asyncio.iscoroutine(target):
      return self.async_create_task(cast(Coroutine, target))

Define create_task function which streamlines this and enables type safety.

This is refactored quite a bit in #50784

Would you please remove the zeroconf changes. I'll make the switch in 50784

[KapJI]

Sure, it was just a nice little demo 🙂

[bdraco]

We should probably have coverage for the new function

[bdraco]

Assuming the CI is happy, I'll rebase #50784 and adjust it after this merges

@raman325 tests/components/vizio/test_init.py::test_coordinator_update_failure[pyloop] is flaky and that's pretty annoying. Can you please fix that test?
