[RFC]: Achieve feature parity with async.js

[ahamed-ali-git]

Description

Currently, stdlib has a limited set of dedicated "async" APIs for performing various utility operations. The goal of this idea is to achieve feature parity with async.js, a popular library providing callback-based async APIs.

Motivation for this idea stems from certain advantages afforded by callback-based asynchronous programming. Notable among them is superior performance and the ability to more readily return and inspect status objects.
