stub: ensure BlockingClientCall tasks to run even after cancellation

After canceling a `BlockingClientCall`, the caller may not interact with it further. That means the call executor, a `ThreadSafeThreadlessExecutor`, will not execute any more tasks. There may still be tasks submitted to the call executor, though, until the underlying call completes. Some of these tasks (e.g., server messages available) may leak native resources unless executed. So, we convert the executor to a "direct" executor during cancellation in order to ensure all call tasks run.

Fixes #12355.
