// Invokes function objects (aka functors) asynchronously on a Thread, and
// owns the lifetime of calls (ie, when this object is destroyed, calls in
// flight are cancelled). AsyncInvoker can optionally execute a user-specified
// function when the asynchronous call is complete, or operates in
// fire-and-forget mode otherwise.
//
// AsyncInvoker does not own the thread it calls functors on.
//
// A note about async calls and object lifetimes: users should
// be mindful of object lifetimes when calling functions asynchronously and
// ensure objects used by the function _cannot_ be deleted between the
// invocation and execution of the functor. AsyncInvoker is designed to
// help: any calls in flight will be cancelled when the AsyncInvoker used to
// make the call is destructed, and any calls executing will be allowed to
// complete before AsyncInvoker destructs.
//
// The easiest way to ensure lifetimes are handled correctly is to create a
// class that owns the Thread and AsyncInvoker objects, and then call its
// methods asynchronously as needed.
//
// Example:
//   class MyClass {
//    public:
//     void FireAsyncTaskWithResult(Thread* thread, int x) {
//       // Specify a callback to get the result upon completion.
//       invoker_.AsyncInvoke<int>(RTC_FROM_HERE,
//           thread, Bind(&MyClass::AsyncTaskWithResult, this, x),
//           &MyClass::OnTaskComplete, this);
//     }
//     void FireAnotherAsyncTask(Thread* thread) {
//       // No callback specified means fire-and-forget.
//       invoker_.AsyncInvoke<void>(RTC_FROM_HERE,
//           thread, Bind(&MyClass::AnotherAsyncTask, this));
//
//    private:
//     int AsyncTaskWithResult(int x) {
//       // Some long running process...
//       return x * x;
//     }
//     void AnotherAsyncTask() {
//       // Some other long running process...
//     }
//     void OnTaskComplete(int result) { result_ = result; }
//
//     AsyncInvoker invoker_;
//     int result_;
//   };
//
// More details about threading:
// - It's safe to construct/destruct AsyncInvoker on different threads.
// - It's safe to call AsyncInvoke from different threads.
// - It's safe to call AsyncInvoke recursively from *within* a functor that's
//   being AsyncInvoked.
// - However, it's *not* safe to call AsyncInvoke from *outside* a functor
//   that's being AsyncInvoked while the AsyncInvoker is being destroyed on
//   another thread. This is just inherently unsafe and there's no way to
//   prevent that. So, the user of this class should ensure that the start of
//   each "chain" of invocations is synchronized somehow with the AsyncInvoker's
//   destruction. This can be done by starting each chain of invocations on the
//   same thread on which it will be destroyed, or by using some other
//   synchronization method.
