Chris Lattner 8bde04cc14 [Concurrency] Implement parsing and semantic analysis of await operator ...

Similar to `try`, await expressions have no specific semantics of their
own except to indicate that the subexpression contains calls to `async`
functions, which are suspension points. In this design, there can be
multiple such calls within the subexpression of a given `await`.

Note that we currently use the keyword `__await` because `await` in
this position introduces grammatical ambiguities. We'll wait until
later to sort out the specific grammar we want and evaluate
source-compatibility tradeoffs. It's possible that this kind of prefix
operator isn't what we want anyway.
