Previously, `wait_for` would deadlock when used in an async runtime (ie. any async function calls `wait_for` directly or indirectly). Now, `wait_for` returns an error if called in an async runtime. There's no reason to call it in an async runtime / function because you can simply await the future. This change updates a few places where `wait_for` is called to be async functions and just wait on the future. Why did the old `Spawner` deadlock? `Handle::current().block_on(f)` and the `std::sync::mpsc::channel` would both block an executor thread in tokio (this is a very bad practice generally). If there's no executer threads available, you can't run anything. Now, the closure just does `f.await` instead of `block_on`, which does not block an executor. The channel is now a `tokio::sync::mpsc::channel` as well with a buffer size of 1, so the async send will not block (I think a buffered std channel would have worked, but it's better to use tokio implementations generally). The receiver of the channel is in a sync runtime, so it does a blocking receive. Testing - unit tests now pass - added a unit test for `wait_for` returning an error in an async runtime - test for nested `wait_for` calls which now return an error Closes https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-distributed/issues/63
