[Enhancement] StartupTask as async

[diegostamigni]

Summary

Any reason why there's no StartAsync in IStartupTask? Or maybe an additional IStartupAsyncTask ?

API Changes

IStartupTask.StartAsync or additional IStartupAsyncTask with StartAsync

Intended Use Case

Some startup tasks can be async.

I've been debating this. Right now, I'm pretty against doing this because you only get a few seconds in certain background scenarios. Startups needs to be almost instant (no async). The jobs themselves can take a bit longer though.

Ya - it is just too dangerous to open this up. Startup tasks were intended to wire up to external events and such. They aren't intended for infrastructure initialization because they need to happen without any perf hit.
