improve the TaskGroup API

the TaskGroup now holds an Executor instead of passing it when calling
its spawn method

also, define a global executor `Executor<'static>` and use static
lifetime instead of a lifetime placeholder

This improvement simplify the code for spawning a new task. There is no
need to pass the executor around.
