coroutines as generators

[Cassolette]

TSTL transpiles generators and async-await into coroutines, however coroutine resumptions do not play well in LuaJ as they consume much more runtime than regular function calls.

This issue is to track possible solutions to the problem.

For now we can probably just avoid using generators all together, using Promise.then, forEach(x=>x) instead.

Ideally we'd fork TSTL to see how we can transpile generators without relying on Lua coroutines... not looking forward to doing that though
