GH-94398: TaskGroup: Fail create_task() during shutdown (GH-94400)

gvanrossum · ambv · web-flow · commit 594c3699492b · 2022-06-30T19:10:46.000+02:00
Once the task group is shutting down, it should not be possible to create a new task.
Here "shutting down" means `self._aborting` is set, indicating that at least one task
has failed and we have cancelled all others.

 The first time any of the tasks belonging to the group fails
 with an exception other than :exc:`asyncio.CancelledError`,
 the remaining tasks in the group are cancelled.
+No further tasks can then be added to the group.
 At this point, if the body of the ``async with`` statement is still active
 (i.e., :meth:`~object.__aexit__` hasn't been called yet),
 the task directly containing the ``async with`` statement is also cancelled.
