[Bug 1064014] [NEW] Simple async tests should not return Task<T>

 

Public bug reported:

NUnit does not allow simple tests (i.e. those marked with Test rather
than TestCase) to return a value. If they do, they are flagged as
invalid. By extension, we should not allow the async version of such
tests to return Task<T>.

In the existing implementation, this is allowed and the value is simply
ignored silently.

The following tests in AsyncRealFixture are runnable but should be non-runnable:
  AsyncTaskResultSuccess
  AsyncTaskResultFailure
  AsyncTaskResultError
  AsyncTaskResultExpectedException

The following test in AsyncRealFixture is runnable but should  be non-runnable
  TaskWithResult
