Stop a Tide server (not graceful shutdown)

[mleonhard]

I need to run a Tide server in tests. Each test starts a server, performs some checks, and stops the server. How can one shut down a running Tide server?

The easiest thing is to drop the executor. Tide uses async-std which uses async_global_executor. I couldn't figure out how to drop the global executor.

This is not a request for graceful shutdown #528.

Meta comment: Tide's framework style makes it cumbersome to do anything that is not built-in. I wish Tide was modular. For example, I want to do my own routing. But it would be helpful to have a stand-alone way to parse urls into variables. I also need handlers to return a custom error type. The top level handler must perform logging and translate errors into appropriate responses. All of this is hard to do with Tide. Tide's mono-lithic design also makes debugging extremely difficult. I really need an async version of rouille.
