The Embedded Swift concurrency library needs a way to exit the program
at the end of async main. The existing implementation calls through a
_swift_exit() function to the POSIX/C exit(). Enshrine _swift_exit()
as part of the Platform Abstraction Layer, with the same signature
(albeit in C), and implement it in the PAL-on-POSIX library as a call
through to exit().
We were failing to switch executors to Dispatch queues, where those
were being used as executors, which caused a variety of unusual
symptoms.

I had originally thought that we'd get away without this because the
executor construction generally happens in the async `main` function,
but of course if a program doesn't already use Swift Concurrency,
and someone uses it from a plug-in or library it loads, there's a
risk that we might have a race condition.

Rename `DispatchTaskExecutor` to `DispatchGlobalTaskExecutor` as we
may want to use the former for an executor that runs things on an
arbitrary Dispatch queue.
Rename `DispatchExecutor` to `DispatchExecutorProtocol`; again, we
might want the name for something else.
Add `@Sendable` attribute to `registerEvent`.
Fix missing `extern "C" SWIFT_CC(swift)` on `_swift_exit` (merge
error).
Remove stray whitespace from `CMakeLists.txt`

We can't use blocks, because Swift doesn't support them on Linux or
Windows. Instead, use a C function pointer, and box up the handler.

Added an `-executor-factory` argument to the compiler to let you safely
specify the executors you wish to use (by naming a type that returns
them).
Also added some tests of the new functionality.

Reorganise the Concurrency code so that it's possible to completely
implement executors (both main and global) in Swift.
Provide API to choose the desired executors for your application.
Also make `Task.Sleep` wait using the current executor, not the global
executor, and expose APIs on `Clock` to allow for conversion between
time bases.
