summary:

Update asyncio.ensure_future() documentation (GH-15347) (GH-15361)

Added back mention that ensure_future actually scheduled obj. This documentation just mentions what ensure_future returns, so I did not realize that ensure_future also schedules obj.
(cherry picked from commit 092911d5c0d8f6db8a0cb02fecd73dbb650f9e2e)
