    async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pending · 52722794

    Async kept single global pending list and per-domain running lists.
    When an async item is queued, it's put on the global pending list.
    The item is moved to the per-domain running list when its execution
    starts.
    
    At this point, this design complicates execution and synchronization
    without bringing any benefit.  The list only matters for
    synchronization which doesn't care whether a given async item is
    pending or executing.  Also, global synchronization is done by
    iterating through all active registered async_domains, so the global
    async_pending list doesn't help anything either.
    
    Rename async_domain->running to async_domain->pending and put async
    items directly there and remove when execution completes.  This
    simplifies lowest_in_progress() a lot - the first item on the pending
    list is the one with the lowest cookie, and async_run_entry_fn()
    doesn't have to mess with moving the item from pending to running.
    
    After the change, whether a domain is empty or not can be trivially
    determined by looking at async_domain->pending.  Remove
    async_domain->count and use list_empty() on pending instead.
