Use of GCD in asynchronous context

[jbelkins]

Describe the bug

GCD semaphores can cause unpredictable behavior when used from within a Swift asynchronous task.

The following was seen in the build logs when building aws-crt-swift:

/Users/runner/work/aws-sdk-swift/aws-sdk-swift/target/build/deps/aws-crt-swift/Source/Elasticurl/Elasticurl.swift:320:23: warning: instance method 'wait' is unavailable from asynchronous contexts; Await a Task handle instead; this is an error in Swift 6
            semaphore.wait()
                      ^
Dispatch.DispatchSemaphore:4:17: note: 'wait()' declared here
    public func wait()

Expected Behavior

aws-crt-swift does not use GCD semaphores within asynchronous code, and this warning is not generated

Current Behavior

The warning above (soon to be raised to an error) is generated at build time

Reproduction Steps

Build aws-crt-swift, observe build logs
