Description

In the rendered FSharp.Core Async docs, StartChild was grouped under "Cancellation and Exceptions" while its sibling StartChildAsTask sits under "Starting Async Computations". StartChild is really a mainstream way to kick off concurrent work, so it belongs next to StartChildAsTask. Just an XML doc category tweak — no code or behavior impact.

Fixes #19667

Checklist

  • Release notes entry updated

…ons" docs category

`Async.StartChild` is a mainstream way to kick off concurrent child work,
so it belongs in the same docs section as `Async.StartChildAsTask` rather
than under "Cancellation and Exceptions". This only changes the rendered
docs grouping; no code or behavior impact.
