The first of the work item bugs for Bug 600059. Let's start by eliminating our use of Resource non-invasively, moving functionality into *Cb versions of functions until we can bootstrap async higher and higher up the stack.

Sorry for the bugspam, folks; bzpatch's argument order is wrong in the helpstring.

Comment on attachment 535514 [details] Pull request: parts 0 through 4. Part 0: Convert test_corrupt_keys.js to add_test/run_next_test. Part 1: Add a test for URI construction and query modification. Part 2: Add Utils.slices. Part 3: Move async utilities into async.js. Add Async.spinningly as a temporary shim for wrapping Cb versions of functions. Part 4: Move Resource.serverTime to AsyncResource, fix comments for AsyncResource.

Addressed comments: * Re-split commits to address some cross-mojination * Added URI tests to test_resource_async.js * Renamed Async.spinningly to Async.makeSpinningCallback * Misc comment improvements * Make Utils.slices and Async.barrieredCallbacks into generators. Working on one test hang before each individual commit passes all tests, as well as the whole set of commits, but all of the reviewed code so far is good to go. Philipp, I will submit a fresh pull request for the parts you've reviewed and I've amended.

Yeah, I considered that, but thought that this way would make for easier rebasing of part two, and a more granular history besides. I plan on using a merge commit for the inextricably linked final parts, but these stand alone. My bad for omitting the bug number! Was kinda distracted by hg-git woes.

Gah, realized the reason why I'm still waiting for review for the rest is because I never formally asked for it. Will fire up another push request.

I don't expect all of these to get through without changes, but best to start somewhere! All 101 tests pass with these changes.

We've abandoned this work in favour of a better approach (repositories, synchronizer, etc.)
