Roblox-compatible task scheduling library backed by libuv timers.

Example:

local task = require("@eryx/task")

task.spawn(function()
	print("tick 1")
	local dt = task.wait(1)
	print("tick 2 after", dt, "s")
end)

When the top-level script yields, the libuv event loop drives timer callbacks that resume coroutines automatically - no manual task.step() call is required (though it is still available for backward compatibility).
