Synthetic fibers!

• very much WIP 🚧
• Fibers are little state machines that behave like coroutines: when spun, they yield and yield, and then they return. In the meantime, they carry their stack around with them.
• Fibers are a model of concurrent computation. They are static, lightweight and well-suited for cooperative multitasking.

The enum State contains utility methods for processing yielded values, not unlike the Standard Library's Result or Option.

Additionally, fibers can be turned into iterators over their yielded values; and closures that return a State can be turned into fibers that live on the heap.

The documentation is available on docs.rs.
