A simple async executor
A simple executor that runs Futures asynchronously on a separate thread
for learning purposes.
How it works
Executor::new() spawns a detached worker thread that stores the receiver end
of an MPSC queue, returning the user a type containing the Sender end.
Executor::spawn(Future) creates a Task(Future, Sender) that is sent via the
MSPC to the worker thread. The worker thread continuously polls the Futures
of the Tasks arriving through the MPSC queue. If the Future isn't ready, its
Waker is set up to re-schedule itself into the MPSC queue when progress can be
made.
