Martin Kustermann 4eaacc3df9 [vm] Improve async performance by taking advantage of static types of returned values
In general any async function can return X or Future<X>. Though the
future implementation has to do different things depending on which case
we're in. It does so by using a `<obj> is Future<T>` test. This test is very
expensive if many different classes flow into `<obj>`.

Though most functions do not return `Future` objects from async
functions. We can determine that statically by looking if any returned
expression could be a future. If not, we can bypass the `is Future<T>`
test entirely.
