Improve async() by making its promises cancelable

WyriHaximus · WyriHaximus · commit 262ef5919b7c · 2022-03-04T09:17:48.000+01:00
Since `async()` returns a promise and those are normally cancelable, implementing this puts them in line with the rest of our ecosystem. As such the following example will throw a timeout exception from the canceled `sleep()` call. ```php $promise = async(static function (): int { echo 'a'; await(sleep(2)); echo 'b'; return time(); })(); $promise->cancel(); await($promise); ```` This builds on top of #15, #18, #19, #26, #28, #30, and #32.

+Promises returned by `async()` can be cancelled, and when done any currently and future awaited promise inside that and 
+any nested fibers with their awaited promises will also be cancelled. As such the following example will only output 
+`ab` as the [`sleep()`](https://reactphp.org/promise-timer/#sleep) between `a` and `b` is cancelled throwing a timeout 
+exception that bubbles up through the fibers ultimately to the end user through the [`await()`](#await) on the last line
