/// A ``Subchannel`` provides communication to a single ``Endpoint``.
///
/// Each ``Subchannel`` starts in an 'idle' state where it isn't attempting to connect to an
/// endpoint. You can tell it to start connecting by calling ``connect()`` and you can listen
/// to connectivity state changes by consuming the ``events`` sequence.
///
/// You must call ``close()`` on the ``Subchannel`` when it's no longer required. This will move
/// it to the ``ConnectivityState/shutdown`` state: existing RPCs may continue but all subsequent
/// calls to ``makeStream(descriptor:options:)`` will fail.
///
/// To use the ``Subchannel`` you must run it in a task:
///
/// ```swift
/// await withTaskGroup(of: Void.self) { group in
///   group.addTask { await subchannel.run() }
///
///   for await event in subchannel.events {
///     switch event {
///     case .connectivityStateChanged(.ready):
///       // ...
///     default:
///       // ...
///     }
///   }
