adeeadf49f Move task::task() to TaskBuilder::new()
The constructor for `TaskBuilder` is being changed to an associated
function called `new` for consistency with the rest of the standard
library.

Closes #13666

086c0dd33f Delete send_str, rewrite clients on top of MaybeOwned<'static>
Declare a `type SendStr = MaybeOwned<'static>` to ease readibility of
types that needed the old SendStr behavior.

Implement all the traits for MaybeOwned that SendStr used to implement.

acca9e3834 Remove linked failure from the runtime
The reasons for doing this are:

* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
  fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
  the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
  model

Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.
