Clarify what a task is
Currently we call two distinct concepts "task":
1. The top-level future that is polled until completion
2. The lightweight "thread" that is responsible for polling the top-level future. What additional data beside the future is stored in this type varies between different `Executor` implementations.
I'd prefer to return to the old formulation by @alexcrichton:
```rust
/// A handle to a "task", which represents a single lightweight "thread" of
/// execution driving a future to completion.
pub struct Task {
```
