Sometimes, passing ownership to an executor is necessary. For example,
some libraries require taking ownership of one.
This patch adds a function that returns an executor associated with a
runtime.
This patch is an intial implementation of the Tokio runtime. The Tokio
runtime provides an out of the box configuration for running I/O heavy
asynchronous applications.
As of now, the Tokio runtime is a combination of a work-stealing thread
pool as well as a background reactor to drive I/O resources.
This patch also includes tokio-executor, a hopefully short lived crate
that is based on the futures 0.2 executor RFC.
* Implement `Park` for `Reactor`
This enables the reactor to be used as the thread parker for executors.
This also adds an `Error` component to `Park`. With this change, a
`Reactor` and a `CurrentThread` can be combined to achieve the
capabilities of tokio-core.
