Loading

All file reads and writes (resources loading, log writes, game state seves, etc.) should be handled by async I/O API.
Both Windows and Linux provide an API for that:
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365683%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
- http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/aio.7.html

TODO:

Extension of current FileSystem or File classes in nfCommon that will provide async read and writes.
Write tests
Add support for I/O dependency in AsyncThreadPool.
Rewrite all resources reads in the engine with the new I/O API.
