Joshua Harlow b014fc7d48 Add a futures type that can unify our future functionality
Move the currently existing green future executor and associated
code to a new futures types module so that it can be accessed from
this new location (TODO: deprecate the old location and link the
old to the new for one release so that we can remove the old link
in N + 1 release).

This unifies the API that the existing pool (thread or process) future
executors and the green thread pool future executor, and the newly added
synchronous executor (replacing the previous `make_completed_future`
function) provide so there usage is as seamless as possible.

Testing and requirements

Requirements

Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two parts: - things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use TaskFlow without them) are put into requirements-pyN.txt (N being the Python major version number used to install the package); - things that are required by some optional part of TaskFlow (you can use TaskFlow without them) are put into optional-requirements.txt; if you want to use the feature in question, you should add that requirements to your project or environment; - as usual, things that required only for running tests are put into test-requirements.txt.

Tox.ini

Our tox.ini file describes several test environments that allow to test TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of requirements installed. Please refer to the tox documentation to understand how to make these test environments work for you.

Developer documentation

We also have sphinx documentation in docs/source.
