Unblocked Fibers

[herwinw]

This is a feature of Ruby 3.0 where a Fiber can mark itself as being blocked, notify a scheduler of this information, and let the scheduler change the execution to a different fiber. Given that we currently have Fibers but no Threads, this is probably the easiest way into getting some form of concurrency into Natalie.

I found some example scripts on https://blog.monotone.dev/ruby/2020/12/25/ruby-3-fiber.html and I want those to work with Natalie.

This does require the following steps:

• Add blocking status to Fiber (Implement Fiber.blocking? and Fiber#blocking? #1166)
• Add a possibility to get and set the Fiber scheduler (Implement getter and setter for Fiber scheduler #1183)
• Get the kernel_sleep example to work. This requires at least updates to the sleep method to make the callback (Add Fiber scheduler hooks for Kernel.sleep #1287)
• Get the io_wait example to work
• Get the block/unblock example to work. This probably requires some more primitives in the code, like Mutex and Queue
