Runs task_func in another thread, and waits for it to return or be
cancelled. You can use Task.propagatePointer, etc, afterward
to get the result of task_func.
See GTaskThreadFunc for more details about how task_func is handled.
Normally this is used with tasks created with a NULLcallback, but note that even if the task does
have a callback, it will not be invoked when task_func returns.
completed will be set to TRUE just before this function returns.
Although GLib currently rate-limits the tasks queued via
Task.runInThreadSync, you should not assume that it will
always do this. If you have a very large number of tasks to run,
but don't want them to all run at once, you should only queue a
limited number of them at a time.
