Just a note, I plan to add much more extensive testing in my next PR for this repo coming the in the next week or two. I did add some basic tests just for sanity, though.
I've also tested this manually in consumption from several different repositories, and in the browser runtime in a wasm build.
It works.

It would probably be a good idea to read this readme first, before reviewing the rest of the code in this PR. I explain a bit here.

Summary
Initial implementation of common GCD API's using Swift Concurrency. The goal of this implementation is to enable wasm compilation for many repositories that currently use GCD.
Note this is a critical part of larger effort to compile several open source Swift repositories to wasm
Details
DispatchAsync is a temporary experimental repository aimed at implementing missing Dispatch support in the SwiftWasm toolchain.
Currently, SwiftWasm doesn't include Dispatch.
But, SwiftWasm does support Swift Concurrency. DispatchAsync implements a number of common Dispatch API's using Swift Concurrency under the hood.
Refer to the README updates in this PR for more details.
