joeduffy f8ee6c570e Eliminate Computed/Property in favor of Promises
As part of pulumi/pulumi-fabric#331, we've been exploring just using
undefined to indicate that a property value is absent during planning.
We also considered blocking the message loop to simplify the overall
programming model, so that all asynchrony is hidden.

It turns out ThereBeDragons 🐲 anytime you try to block the
message loop.  So, we aren't quite sure about that bit.

But the part we are convicted about is that this Computed/Property
model is far too complex.  Furthermore, it's very close to promises, and
yet frustratingly so far away.  Indeed, the original thinking in
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#271 was simply to use promises, but we wanted to
encourage dataflow styles, rather than control flow.  But we muddied up
our thinking by worrying about awaiting a promise that would never resolve.

It turns out we can achieve a middle ground: resolve planning promises to
undefined, so that they don't lead to hangs, but still use promises so
that asynchrony is explicit in the system.  This also avoids blocking the
message loop.  Who knows, this may actually be a fine final destination.
