Add notaskstate effect (#45422) Split out from #45272. This effect models the legality of moving code between tasks. It is somewhat related to effect-free/consistent, but only with respect to task-local state. As an example consider something like: ``` global glob function bar() @async (global glob = 1; some_other_code()) end ``` The newly created task is not effect-free, but it would be legal to inline the assignment of `glob` into `bar` (as long it is inlined before the creation of the task of `some_other_code` does not access `glob`). For comparison, the following is neither `notls`, nor `effect_free`: ``` function bar() @async (task_local_storage()[:var] = 1; some_other_code()) end ``` The same implies to implicit task-local state such as the RNG state. Implementation wise, there isn't a lot here, because the implicit tainting by ccall is the correct conservative default. In the future, we may want to annotate various ccalls as being permissible for notls, but let's worry about that when we have a case that needs it.
