This adds a Lua API for representing asynchronous operations and running
coroutines based on those operations comfortably. This is very similar
to features other languages have introduced such as C# or JavaScript. In
fact, the whole "promise" thing is derived from how JavaScript
represents these operations.
This is the initial and very basic system for supporting async
coroutines in Lua. There is no native support for running these
operations at specific points (they run whenever the awaited promise
resolved) or making sure they do not leak through different game states.
This adds a utility library for handling all the nasty lua referencing
stuff. It also provides functions for convienent usage of lua objects
such as tables and functions which allows to use them directly from C++
code without using the ugly Lua C-API.
