Details
We want to encourage Gecko Rust crates to use background tasks, via create_background_task_queue and (the not-yet-exposed) dispatch_background_task, instead of spinning up their own threads.
We have an allowlist for C++ static analysis, but nothing like that for Rust. Fortunately, the number of Gecko Rust crates is still small, so we can remove moz_task::create_thread entirely after converting all the callers.
