Combine first run() with Fiber creation about node-fibers HOT 3 CLOSED

This sounds great from the asyncblock perspective.

We create a new fiber in every async method (to support running it in parallel with the fiber currently in context), so work that can be done to speed up fiber creation / init will increase performance.

I'm wondering if there's also a chance that this will help with fiber performance while debugging :).

So I tried it and it's slower somehow. I tried everything I could think of and couldn't make it any faster. Seems v8 has moved far enough along to where the C++/JS membrane isn't really substantial.

Here's the diff if you're interested:

It exposes a new Fiber.newAndRun() method. First argument is the function to run, and the second argument is the argument to pass to the fiber. It returns an array which is [fiber, returnValue]. On my system it's just a little bit slower. If you can find a case where it's faster I'll add it.

Although d4c0b81 makes it a tiny bit faster, but nothing significant.
