getVia() and waitVia()
Summary:
Introduce ProgressableExecutor, which is an Executor that can be driven somehow. Examples include EventBase and ManualExecutor
Then introduce Future<T>::getVia(ProgressableExecutor*) and Future<T>::waitVia(ProgressableExecutor*) that drive the given executor until the Future is complete, with the usual semantics of get and wait respectively
This is a really common pattern in tests and you can see in the various changes to other projects lends sopme nice redness and cleanliness
Some notes:
1. I don't like ProgressableExecutor::makeProgress() that much. Too verbose. Maybe DrivableExecutor::drive()? Something else? Thoughts?
2. I still need to integrate this with some stuff in Zeus (SessionFuture) and Zookeeper (ZookeeperFuture) but I'm going to do that in a separate diff because it's going to be a little more intrusive
3. These APIs take a raw ptr so that they are consistent with via()
4. See inline note on ManualExecutor
5. See inline note in added unit tests
Test Plan: add unit for new API, wait for contbuild
