Task dumps are snapshots of runtime state. Taskdumps are collected by
instrumenting Tokio's leaves to conditionally collect backtraces, which
are then coalesced per-task into execution tree traces.
This initial implementation only supports collecting taskdumps from
within the context of a current-thread runtime, and only `yield_now()`
is instrumented.
This builds on https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio/pull/1351 and introduces the
tokio::net::windows::named_pipe module which provides low level types for
building and communicating asynchronously over windows named pipes.
Named pipes require the `net` feature flag to be enabled on Windows.

This change removes all references to `Stream` from
within the `tokio` crate and moves them into a new
`tokio-stream` crate. Most types have had their
`impl Stream` removed as well in-favor of their
inherent methods.
Closes#2870
This reverts commit fe2b997.
We are avoiding adding poll_read_buf to tokio itself for now. The patch is
reverted now in order to not block the v0.3.2 release (#3059).
Uses the infrastructure added by #2828 to enable switching
`TcpListener::accept` to use `&self`.
This also switches `poll_accept` to use `&self`. While doing introduces
a hazard, `poll_*` style functions are considered low-level. Most users
will use the `async fn` variants which are more misuse-resistant.
TcpListener::incoming() is temporarily removed as it has the same
problem as `TcpSocket::by_ref()` and will be implemented later.
This refactors I/O registration in a few ways:
- Cleans up the cached readiness in `PollEvented`. This cache used to
be helpful when readiness was a linked list of `*mut Node`s in
`Registration`. Previous refactors have turned `Registration` into just
an `AtomicUsize` holding the current readiness, so the cache is just
extra work and complexity. Gone.
- Polling the `Registration` for readiness now gives a `ReadyEvent`,
which includes the driver tick. This event must be passed back into
`clear_readiness`, so that the readiness is only cleared from `Registration`
if the tick hasn't changed. Previously, it was possible to clear the
readiness even though another thread had *just* polled the driver and
found the socket ready again.
- Registration now also contains an `async fn readiness`, which stores
wakers in an instrusive linked list. This allows an unbounded number
of tasks to register for readiness (previously, only 1 per direction (read
and write)). By using the intrusive linked list, there is no concern of
leaking the storage of the wakers, since they are stored inside the `async fn`
and released when the future is dropped.
- Registration retains a `poll_readiness(Direction)` method, to support
`AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite`. They aren't able to use `async fn`s, and
so there are 2 reserved slots for those methods.
- IO types where it makes sense to have multiple tasks waiting on them
now take advantage of this new `async fn readiness`, such as `UdpSocket`
and `UnixDatagram`.
Additionally, this makes the `io-driver` "feature" internal-only (no longer
documented, not part of public API), and adds a second internal-only
feature, `io-readiness`, to group together linked list part of registration
that is only used by some of the IO types.
After a bit of discussion, changing stream-based transports (like
`TcpStream`) to have `async fn read(&self)` is punted, since that
is likely too easy of a footgun to activate.

## Motivation
When debugging asynchronous systems, it can be very valuable to inspect
what tasks are currently active (see #2510). The [`tracing` crate] and
related libraries provide an interface for Rust libraries and
applications to emit and consume structured, contextual, and async-aware
diagnostic information. Because this diagnostic information is
structured and machine-readable, it is a better fit for the
task-tracking use case than textual logging — `tracing` spans can be
consumed to generate metrics ranging from a simple counter of active
tasks to histograms of poll durations, idle durations, and total task
lifetimes. This information is potentially valuable to both Tokio users
*and* to maintainers.
Additionally, `tracing` is maintained by the Tokio project and is
becoming widely adopted by other libraries in the "Tokio stack", such as
[`hyper`], [`h2`], and [`tonic`] and in [other] [parts] of the broader Rust
ecosystem. Therefore, it is suitable for use in Tokio itself.

## Solution
This PR is an MVP for instrumenting Tokio with `tracing` spans. When the
"tracing" optional dependency is enabled, every spawned future will be
instrumented with a `tracing` span.
The generated spans are at the `TRACE` verbosity level, and have the
target "tokio::task", which may be used by consumers to filter whether
they should be recorded. They include fields for the type name of the
spawned future and for what kind of task the span corresponds to (a
standard `spawn`ed task, a local task spawned by `spawn_local`, or a
`blocking` task spawned by `spawn_blocking`). Because `tracing` has
separate concepts of "opening/closing" and "entering/exiting" a span, we
enter these spans every time the spawned task is polled. This allows
collecting data such as:
- the total lifetime of the task from `spawn` to `drop`
- the number of times the task was polled before it completed
- the duration of each individual time that the span was polled (and
therefore, aggregated metrics like histograms or averages of poll
durations)
- the total time a span was actively being polled, and the total time
it was alive but **not** being polled
- the time between when the task was `spawn`ed and the first poll
As an example, here is the output of a version of the `chat` example
instrumented with `tracing`:
And, with multiple connections actually sending messages:
I haven't added any `tracing` spans in the example, only converted the
existing `println!`s to `tracing::info` and `tracing::error` for
consistency. The span durations in the above output are generated by
`tracing-subscriber`. Of course, a Tokio-specific subscriber could
generate even more detailed statistics, but that's follow-up work once
basic tracing support has been added.
Note that the `Instrumented` type from `tracing-futures`, which attaches
a `tracing` span to a future, was reimplemented inside of Tokio to avoid
a dependency on that crate. `tracing-futures` has a feature flag that
enables an optional dependency on Tokio, and I believe that if another
crate in a dependency graph enables that feature while Tokio's `tracing`
support is also enabled, it would create a circular dependency that
Cargo wouldn't be able to handle. Also, it avoids a dependency for a
very small amount of code that is unlikely to ever change.
There is, of course, room for plenty of future work here. This might
include:
- instrumenting other parts of `tokio`, such as I/O resources and
channels (possibly via waker instrumentation)
- instrumenting the threadpool so that the state of worker threads
can be inspected
- writing `tracing-subscriber` `Layer`s to collect and display
Tokio-specific data from these traces
- using `track_caller` (when it's stable) to record _where_ a task
was `spawn`ed from
However, this is intended as an MVP to get us started on that path.

Introduces `StreamExt` trait. This trait will be used to add utility functions
to make working with streams easier. This patch includes two functions:
* `next`: a future returning the item in the stream.
* `map`: transform each item in the stream.
