/**
 * Test performance of killing many tasks in a taskgroup.
 * Along the way, tests various edge cases of ancestor group management.
 * In particular, this tries to get each grandchild task to hit the
 * "nobe_is_dead" case in each_ancestor only during task exit, but not during
 * task spawn. This makes sure that defunct ancestor groups are handled correctly
 * w.r.t. possibly leaving stale *rust_tasks lying around.
