feat: Add graceful shutdown support for tokio runtime
This commit introduces graceful shutdown support for the tokio runtime, addressing #40. ## Motivation When Python extensions built with pyo3-async-runtimes are used in subprocesses or short-lived contexts, tokio tasks may still be running when Python interpreter finalization begins. This causes fatal errors: Fatal Python error: PyGILState_Release: thread state...must be current This implementation enables proper shutdown coordination, as demonstrated in lablup/etcd-client-py#17, which uses the new APIs to implement automatic runtime cleanup through reference counting and async-compatible shutdown sequences. ## Implementation The tokio runtime now lives in a dedicated thread (inspired by valkey-glide): - RuntimeWrapper manages the runtime in a dedicated "pyo3-tokio-runtime" thread - The runtime is accessed via Handle (thread-safe, cloneable) - Shutdown is signaled through tokio::sync::Notify and blocks until complete - Runtime slot is cleared after shutdown, allowing re-initialization ## New APIs tokio module: - get_handle() -> Handle: Returns cloneable handle (recommended) - spawn(fut) / spawn_blocking(f): Convenience spawning functions - request_shutdown(timeout_ms) -> bool: Blocking shutdown - request_shutdown_background(timeout_ms) -> bool: Non-blocking shutdown - join_pending_shutdown(py) -> bool: Join pending background shutdown async-std module (for API consistency): - spawn(fut) / spawn_blocking(f): Convenience spawning functions - request_shutdown(timeout_ms) -> bool: Sets flag only (cannot shut down) ## Deprecated APIs - tokio::get_runtime(): Cannot be gracefully shut down; use get_handle() ## Dependency Changes - Replace `futures` with `futures-channel` + `futures-util` - Add `parking_lot` for RwLock - Add tokio `sync` feature for Notify ## Macro Updates - tokio_test macro now uses spawn_blocking() instead of get_runtime() - tokio_main macro uses #[allow(deprecated)] for block_on() usage Fixes #40

## [Unreleased]
14+
15+
### Added
16+
- Add explicit shutdown API for tokio runtime via `tokio::request_shutdown()`. This enables graceful
17+
shutdown of the tokio runtime with a configurable timeout for pending tasks.
18+
- Add `tokio::spawn()` and `tokio::spawn_blocking()` convenience functions for spawning tasks.
19+
- Add `tokio::get_handle()` to get a clone of the tokio runtime handle.
20+
- Add `async_std::spawn()`, `async_std::spawn_blocking()`, and `async_std::request_shutdown()` for
21+
API consistency (note: async-std runtime cannot actually be shut down).
22+
- Support runtime re-initialization after shutdown, allowing the runtime to be restarted after
23+
`request_shutdown()` is called.
24+
25+
### Changed
26+
- Replace `futures` dependency with `futures-channel` and `futures-util` for reduced dependency tree.
27+
28+
### Deprecated
29+
- Deprecate `tokio::get_runtime()` in favor of `tokio::get_handle()`. The returned runtime cannot be
30+
gracefully shut down.
31+
1332
## [0.27.0] - 2025-10-20
1433

1534
- Avoid attaching to the runtime when cloning TaskLocals by using std::sync::Arc. [#62](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3-async-runtimes/pull/62)
