-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------
As part of [https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/accepted/0014
-background-workers.rst DEP 14], this ticket adds a generic Task
interface, allowing enqueueing background tasks. Specifically:

- Common API interface
- Base backend
- Task / result classes
- Immediate / Dummy backends

These features already exist in [https://github.com/realOrangeOne/django-
tasks django-tasks], but need to make their way into Django core.

The database backend is intentionally absent, but will be added in a
future ticket. This makes the PR significantly smaller, and easier to
review.

{{{#!CommitTicketReference repository=""
revision="b931156c207f661406635d49e0e29a51cacc1ab8"
Refs #35859 -- Removed support for Task enqueuing on transaction commit.

This removes the ability to configure Task enqueueing via a setting,
since the proposed `ENQUEUE_ON_COMMIT` did not support multi-database
setups.

Thanks to Simon Charette for the report.

Follow-up to 4289966d1b8e848e5e460b7c782dac009d746b20.
