Revise low level fiber semantics to play nicer with schedulers.
Now that I'm starting to write a real async scheduler on top of Wren's basic fiber API, I have a better feel for what it needs. It turns out run() is not it. - Remove run() methods. - Add transfer() which leaves the caller of the invoked fiber alone. - Add suspend() to return control to the host application. - Add Timer.schedule() to start a new independently scheduled fiber. - Change Timer.sleep() so that it only transfers control to explicitly scheduled fibers, not any one.
