add eager_start parameter to loop.create_task

[graingert]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

We want to be able to opt in and opt out of eager tasks anywhere in the asyncio call stack, eg in some asyncio library, and not rely on some other asyncio framework setting the default.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse
