ui: replace GlobalScope with a hand-rolled CoroutineScope
GlobalScope has numerous problems[1] that make it unfit for use in most applications and making it behave correctly requires an excessive amount of verbosity that's alleviated simply by using any other scope. Since we run multiple operations in the context of the application's lifecycle, introduce a new scope that is created when our application is, and cancelled upon its termination. While at it, make the scope default to Dispatchers.IO to reduce pressure on the UI event loop. Tasks requiring access to the UI thread appropriately switch context making the change completely safe. 1: https://medium.com/@elizarov/the-reason-to-avoid-globalscope-835337445abc Signed-off-by: Harsh Shandilya <me@msfjarvis.dev>
