Update from Brian Quinlan::

Here are some updates based on the latest round of python-dev feedback. It:

    - changes the names of the named-tuple returned by wait()
    - consistently uses the world "callable" rather than "function" or "method"
    - clarifies the calling context of future callbacks
    - removes the ability to remove call backs
    - allows the same callback to be repeatedly added
    - adds a pointer to pickle
    - clarifies that the interpreter will not exit with running futures
    - clarifies that module methods accept futures from different executors
