[I] doc: RecordBatchReceiverStreamBuilder::spawn_blocking does not abort threads [arrow-datafusion]

tv42 opened a new issue, #9152:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/9152

   ### Describe the bug
   
   https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/physical_plan/stream/struct.RecordBatchReceiverStreamBuilder.html#method.spawn_blocking docs say
   
   > Spawn a blocking task that will be aborted if this builder (or the stream built from it) are dropped
   
   There's no aborting happening, and I don't think one can do that safely (no abort in https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/thread/struct.Thread.html).
   
   What actually happens is that `tx.blocking_send` and friends start to give errors, and the caller-provided closure is responsible for returning when that happens. 
   
   https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/mpsc/struct.Sender.html#method.blocking_send
   
   ### To Reproduce
   
   ```rust
   use datafusion::arrow::array::{ArrayRef, UInt64Array};
   use datafusion::arrow::datatypes::{DataType, Field, SchemaBuilder};
   use datafusion::arrow::record_batch::RecordBatch;
   use datafusion::arrow::util::pretty::print_batches;
   use datafusion::error::DataFusionError;
   use datafusion::physical_plan::stream::RecordBatchReceiverStreamBuilder;
   use futures::StreamExt;
   use std::sync::Arc;
   use std::time::Duration;
   
   fn make_dummy_record_batch() -> Result<RecordBatch, DataFusionError> {
       let a: ArrayRef = Arc::new(UInt64Array::from(vec![1, 2]));
       let record_batch = RecordBatch::try_from_iter(vec![("a", a)])
           .map_err(|error| DataFusionError::External(Box::new(error)))?;
       Ok(record_batch)
   }
   
   #[tokio::main]
   async fn main() {
       let schema = {
           let mut builder = SchemaBuilder::new();
           builder.push(Field::new("a", DataType::UInt64, false));
           builder.finish()
       };
       let mut stream = {
           let mut builder = RecordBatchReceiverStreamBuilder::new(Arc::new(schema), 1);
           {
               let tx = builder.tx();
               builder.spawn_blocking(move || loop {
                   let record_batch = make_dummy_record_batch()?;
                   match tx.blocking_send(Ok(record_batch)) {
                       Ok(()) => (),
                       Err(_sent) => {
                           // If we ignore this error, nothing "aborts" us.
                           eprintln!("ignoring send error for demonstration purposes");
                       }
                   };
                   println!("tick");
                   std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(300));
               });
           }
           builder.build()
       };
   
       for i in 0..3 {
           let record_batch = stream.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
           println!("Record Batch #{i}");
           print_batches(&[record_batch]).unwrap();
       }
   
       // Docs claim this will abort the producer.
       drop(stream);
   
       // If it were aborted, we should stop seeing "tick" messages any moment now!
       tokio::time::sleep(Duration::new(5, 0)).await;
       println!("is it still going? bailing out.");
       std::process::exit(0);
   }
   ```
   
   ### Expected behavior
   
   The behavior makes sense, but should be documented.

   I think we can summarize the discussion on this ticket into the doc comments and that would make a good first issue

   Hey @alamb, since the issue I have been working on is on hold for now, I would like to look into this in the meantime.

   It seems to me that a blocking task is actually aborted / cancelled on drop, but once a blocking task starts it can't be interrupted. 
   
   So for example, if the task hasn't started yet it will never start. However,  once the  blocking task starts running, it will run to completion as it never yields control back to tokio (via `await`)
