* Creates a [CoroutineScope] with [SupervisorJob] and calls the specified suspend block with this scope.
* The provided scope inherits its [coroutineContext][CoroutineScope.coroutineContext] from the outer scope, but overrides
* context's [Job] with [SupervisorJob].
* This function returns as soon as the given block and all its child coroutines are completed.
*
* A failure of a child does not cause this scope to fail and does not affect its other children,
* so a custom policy for handling failures of its children can be implemented. See [SupervisorJob] for details.
* A failure of the scope itself (exception thrown in the [block] or cancellation) fails the scope with all its children,
* Unlike [coroutineScope], a failure of a child does not cause this scope to fail and does not affect its other children,
* so a custom policy for handling failures of its children can be implemented. See [SupervisorJob] for additional details.
* A failure of the scope itself (exception thrown in the [block] or external cancellation) fails the scope with all its children,
* but does not cancel parent job.
*
* The method may throw a [CancellationException] if the current job was cancelled externally,
* or rethrow an exception thrown by the given [block].
