/****************************************************************************
* Internal
* Spawning & linked failure
*
* Several data structures are involved in task management to allow properly
* propagating failure across linked/supervised tasks.
*
* (1) The "taskgroup_arc" is an arc::exclusive which contains a hashset of
* all tasks that are part of the group. Some tasks are 'members', which
* means if they fail, they will kill everybody else in the taskgroup.
* Other tasks are 'descendants', which means they will not kill tasks
* from this group, but can be killed by failing members.
*
* A new one of these is created each spawn_linked or spawn_supervised.
*
* (2) The "taskgroup" is a per-task control structure that tracks a task's
* spawn configuration. It contains a reference to its taskgroup_arc,
* a reference to its node in the ancestor list (below), a flag for
* whether it's part of the 'main'/'root' taskgroup, and an optionally
* configured notification port. These are stored in TLS.
*
* (3) The "ancestor_list" is a cons-style list of arc::exclusives which
* tracks 'generations' of taskgroups -- a group's ancestors are groups
* which (directly or transitively) spawn_supervised-ed them. Each task
* recorded in the 'descendants' of each of its ancestor groups.
*
* Spawning a supervised task is O(n) in the number of generations still
* alive, and exiting (by success or failure) that task is also O(n).
*
* This diagram depicts the references between these data structures:
