alexcrichton opened PR #8229 from alexcrichton:fix-blocking-io-and-timers to bytecodealliance:main:

This commit fixes a bug that was introduced in #8190 and brought up on [Zulip]. In #8190 there was a subtle change in how Tokio and the CLI are managed, namely that a Tokio runtime is installed at the start of the CLI to avoid entering/exiting the runtime on each blocking call. This had a small performance improvement relative to entering/exiting on each blocking call. This meant, though, that calls previously blocked with Runtime::block_on and now block with Handle::block_on. The [documentation of Handle::block_on][doc] has a clause that says that for single-threaded runtimes I/O and timers won't work.

To fix this issue I've switch the fallback runtime to a multi-threaded runtime to ensure that I/O and timers continue to work.
