green: Properly wait for main before shutdown

There was a race in the code previously where schedulers would *immediately*
shut down after spawning the main task (because the global task count would
still be 0). This fixes the logic by blocking the sched pool task in receving on
a port instead of spawning a task into the pool to receive on a port.

The modifications necessary were to have a "simple task" running by the time the
code is executing, but this is a simple enough thing to implement and I forsee
this being necessary to have implemented in the future anyway.
