The biggest changes are
- Many functions are not asynchronous anymore as it would be difficult
to run them correctly with our mix of synchronous C code and Rust
code.
- The pad context and its corresponding custom event are gone and
instead thread local storage and task local storage are used. This
makes it easier to correctly pass it through the different layers
of Rust and C code and back.
- Sink events have a different function for serialized and oob events,
src events are handled correctly by default now by simply forwarding
them.
- Task::prepare() has a separate variant that takes a preparation
function as this is a very common task.
- The task loop function can signal via its return value if it wants to
be called again or not.
