A friend ran into the current_thread + Handle::block_on IO-bound task issue today; I figured an additional note about it in the docs may be helpful.

There's already an existing warning about this combination in the documentation for Handle::block_on. This PR adds a warning in the docs for Runtime::handle and points to Handle::block_on for more info.

If this isn't something y'all are interested in, I would totally understand - I figured it doesn't take long to make a PR, so it's easier to discuss here :)

There's already an existing warning about this combo in the
documentation for `Handle::block_on`. This commit adds a summarized
version in `Runtime::handle`.

I'm the friend in question, and the note added here would have saved me quite a bit of headache. I found Runtime::handle in the docs, then saw the Handle type also had a block_on method and incorrectly assumed it'd behave identically to Runtime::block_on. Thank you, @sharnoff, for putting this together! 💯
