Add a promise object to allows Eolian interface to include promises
as a way to have asynchronous value return and composibility.
The usage is like this in a .eo file:
class Foo {
methods {
bar {
params {
@inout promise: Promise<int>;
}
}
}
}
Which will create the following API interface:
void foo_bar(Eo* obj, Eina_Promise** promise);
and a Eina_Promise_Owner for the implementation, like this:
void _foo_bar(Eo* obj, Private_Data* pdata, Eina_Promise_Owner* promise);

Reverting this at Felipe's request following my email. There are many
things I strongly object to in this commit. I've touched the surface of
those on the ML (which doesn't work at the moment), though we need to
better discuss it.
The gist:
1. dlsym is a really bad hack that is not even needed.
2. I don't see why eo should even be aware of promises. It's not aware
of list, hash and etc.
3. The eolian changes were done wrong.
This should have been discussed and consulted before done, even if only
because of the amount of hacks it includes and the cross-domain (ecore,
eo and eolian) nature of it.
This reverts commit f9ba80ab33.
Add a promise object that allows Eolian interface to include promises
as a way to have asynchronous value return and composibility.
The usage is like this in a .eo file:
class Foo {
methods {
bar {
params {
promise: Promise<int>;
}
}
}
}
Which will create the following API interface:
void foo_bar(Ecore_Promise** promise);
and the equivalent declaration for implementation.
However, the API function will instantiate the Promise for the
user and the implementer of the class.
This allows generators to silence type errors in validation in order
to reduce duplicate error messages when generating multiple files.
Also adjusted the C generator to only emit type errors when generating
Eo header files.

We have to use void in a function declaration if we want no function
parameters. Using just empty parenthesis means the function takes an
unspecified number of parameters.
We had it correct for most declarations and this series fixes it for
the rest.
This changes the checks in eolian type API so that you can use the various
type funcs on incompatible types, getting a NULL in return; this allows
simplified generator logic, with error handling done on generator side,
without getting annoying messages from the Eolian lib.
This doesn't quite work yet as path sanitization needs to be done for it to
work correctly. For now this code path is disabled and will be enabled once
all paths are correctly sanitized.
