This pull requester modifies the behavior of AsyncEvent to ensure that all handlers are executed according to their order or priority when using intents.
There is a race condition problem where multiple plugins could register an intent with asynchronous tasks and all tasks would just execute in the background, not guaranteeing any order of execution at all. Event prioritization for asynchronous events doesn't really have any effect.
The current implementation fixes this, by now registering an intent will suspend processing of all listeners until the intent is called to complete.
I've tried to maintain backwards compatibility with plugins, so let me know if I've missed something
