task: fix LocalSet having a single shared task budget (#2462)
## Motivation Currently, an issue exists where a `LocalSet` has a single cooperative task budget that's shared across all futures spawned on the `LocalSet` _and_ by any future passed to `LocalSet::run_until` or `LocalSet::block_on`. Because these methods will poll the `run_until` future before polling spawned tasks, it is possible for that task to _always_ deterministically starve the entire `LocalSet` so that no local tasks can proceed. When the completion of that future _itself_ depends on other tasks on the `LocalSet`, this will then result in a deadlock, as in issue #2460. A detailed description of why this is the case, taken from [this comment][1]: `LocalSet` wraps each time a local task is run in `budget`: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/blob/947045b9445f15fb9314ba0892efa2251076ae73/tokio/src/task/local.rs#L406 This is identical to what tokio's other schedulers do when running tasks, and in theory should give each task its own budget every time it's polled. _However_, `LocalSet` is different from other schedulers. Unlike the runtime schedulers, a `LocalSet` is itself a future that's run on another scheduler, in `block_on`. `block_on` _also_ sets a budget: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/blob/947045b9445f15fb9314ba0892efa2251076ae73/tokio/src/runtime/basic_scheduler.rs#L131 The docs for `budget` state that: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/blob/947045b9445f15fb9314ba0892efa2251076ae73/tokio/src/coop.rs#L73 This means that inside of a `LocalSet`, the calls to `budget` are no-ops. Instead, each future polled by the `LocalSet` is subtracting from a single global budget. `LocalSet`'s `RunUntil` future polls the provided future before polling any other tasks spawned on the local set: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/blob/947045b9445f15fb9314ba0892efa2251076ae73/tokio/src/task/local.rs#L525-L535 In this case, the provided future is `JoinAll`. Unfortunately, every time a `JoinAll` is polled, it polls _every_ joined future that has not yet completed. When the number of futures in the `JoinAll` is >= 128, this means that the `JoinAll` immediately exhausts the task budget. This would, in theory, be a _good_ thing --- if the `JoinAll` had a huge number of `JoinHandle`s in it and none of them are ready, it would limit the time we spend polling those join handles. However, because the `LocalSet` _actually_ has a single shared task budget, this means polling the `JoinAll` _always_ exhausts the entire budget. There is now no budget remaining to poll any other tasks spawned on the `LocalSet`, and they are never able to complete. [1]: #2460 (comment) ## Solution This branch solves this issue by resetting the task budget when polling a `LocalSet`. I've added a new function to `coop` for resetting the task budget to `UNCONSTRAINED` for the duration of a closure, and thus allowing the `budget` calls in `LocalSet` to _actually_ create a new budget for each spawned local task. Additionally, I've changed `LocalSet` to _also_ ensure that a separate task budget is applied to any future passed to `block_on`/`run_until`. Additionally, I've added a test reproducing the issue described in #2460. This test fails prior to this change, and passes after it. Fixes #2460 Signed-off-by: Eliza Weisman <eliza@buoyant.io>
