Fix Dataset and DatasetAlias scheduling in Airflow 2.10 (#1240)

When tasks inside task groups were emitting events, they were different
during task initialization and task execution, resulting in different
DatasetAlias representations and scheduling not working as expected.

During task execution, the task ID is modified also to contain the
task_group.

We could not catch this before due to inconsistent behaviour between
running Airflow using `dags.test()`, `airflow standalone` and
`astro-cli`.

+Examples

+
+This example DAG:
+
+..
+   The following renders in Sphinx but not Github:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ./../dev/dags/basic_cosmos_dag.py
+    :language: python
+    :start-after: [START local_example]
+    :end-before: [END local_example]
+
+
+Will trigger the following DAG to be run (when using Cosmos 1.1 when using Airflow 2.4 or newer):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from datetime import datetime
+    from airflow import DAG
+    from airflow.datasets import Dataset
+    from airflow.operators.empty import EmptyOperator
+
+
+    with DAG(
+        "dataset_triggered_dag",
+        description="A DAG that should be triggered via Dataset",
+        start_date=datetime(2024, 9, 1),
+        schedule=[Dataset(uri="postgres://0.0.0.0:5434/postgres.public.orders")],
+    ) as dag:
+        t1 = EmptyOperator(
+            task_id="task_1",

+        )
+
+        t1 >> t2
+
+
+From Cosmos 1.7 and Airflow 2.10, it is also possible to trigger DAGs be to be run by using ``DatasetAliases``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from datetime import datetime
+    from airflow import DAG
+    from airflow.datasets import DatasetAlias
+    from airflow.operators.empty import EmptyOperator

+        description="A DAG that should be triggered via Dataset alias",
+        start_date=datetime(2024, 9, 1),
+        schedule=[DatasetAlias(name="basic_cosmos_dag__orders__run")],
+    ) as dag:
+
+        t3 = EmptyOperator(
+            task_id="task_3",
+        )
