Mention TaskToAsyncResult in "Implement the APM pattern by using tasks"

[KalleOlaviNiemitalo]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

In the "Implement the APM pattern by using tasks" section of the "TPL and traditional .NET asynchronous programming" topic, it would be useful to mention the System.Threading.Tasks.TaskToAsyncResult class, and explain how its behaviour differs from the Task<string>.Factory.StartNew example.

TaskToAsyncResult is available starting from .NET 8.0. The idea of publishing it for downlevel frameworks too was mentioned in dotnet/runtime#61729 (comment) but AFAIK it has not been done.
