Add infrastructure to run a function asynchronously.
This adds start_async() and finish_async(), which runs a function
asynchronously. Communication with the caller happens only via pipes.
For this reason, this implementation forks off a child process that runs
the function.
[sp: Style nit fixed by removing unnecessary block on if condition
inside of start_async()]
