async/await improvements

Even if async functions are changed to only be callable from an async 
context or toplevel, they could still be promise-based from an 
implementation's point of view.

The only thing they couldn't do (under this proposal) is expose the 
promise being used to userland (to eliminate the chance for userland to 
hold on to the promise and expect to be able to add an error handler at 
any time).
