pause/resume for tasks #250

Description

@pschrammel

I implemented a naive pushback example (https://github.com/socketry/falcon/tree/main/examples/pushback) but it has some quirks:

  1. I had to implement an external loop to check for free slots (this causes a certain delay but doesn't explain delays of 500ms)
  2. the task does a kind of busy waiting (checking if it's allowed to continue). This keeps the async event loop busy (guessing). I think the major delay comes from this waiting loop.

I will try to implement something more nio4r compatible (I'm currently thinking of named pipes and reading to "pause" a task and write to "resume" a task). But perhaps a "pause"/"resume" could be implemented into the framework. currently a task can only be "stopped" and that's it.
