Method EnsureStartedAsync
EnsureStartedAsync(CancellationToken)
Calls Start() if needed, awaits Started, and rethrows its fault. From inside an IEdgeStartupTask it returns at once instead of waiting on the task that called it: the tasks ordered before the caller have completed, the ones after it have not.

Remarks
Called from inside a startup task, this returns at once. Every Qavren.Edge entry point
awaits startup first - IEdgeDatabase.OpenConnectionAsync, a session acquire, a chat
turn - and startup completes only when every task has returned. A task that opened a
connection to seed a table, which is what a startup task is for, therefore waited on itself
and the host never started. What such a task can rely on is exactly what the order promises:
every task ordered before it has completed. Tasks ordered after it have not run.
The exemption follows the task's own call path and ends when the task returns. Work a task starts and does not await goes back to waiting for startup like any other caller.
