Central dispatch and worker dispatch share most of their code now by
inheriting from a new shared dispatch class.
Also, the format of passed messages has been altered to make it easier
to understand in a debugger.
This allows a service to postpone communication with other services
until it can be sure that it's registered with central dispatch. Service
registration on the main thread always happens immediately, but that
version of `setService` still returns a Promise for consistency.
The tests run using TinyWorker, which emulates web workers on Node.
There are quite a few quirks in that situation due to the differences
between Node and Webpack as well as the differences between TinyWorker
and real Web Workers.
The tests also exposed a few bugs in the dispatch system, which have now
been fixed. Most notably, if a method called through the dispatch system
throws an exception that exception will now be passed back to the
caller. Previously the exception would escape the dispatch system and
the caller would never hear any response at all.
This message dispatch system allows a "service" to register itself under
a particular name, and then anyone can call any method on that service
from any context (the main "window" thread or any worker). Return values
are passed back through promise resolution.
If the `dataFormat` field is absent, fall back on the older `assetType`
field. That can at least help us tell if something is a vector or bitmap
image, though it doesn't tell us which kind of bitmap.
The `dispose()` method on `RenderedTarget` now:
- informs the runtime that it should end any threads corresponding the
target being disposed, and
- removes the clone from its sprite.
When importing a project we know the file extension for each asset to be
loaded. This change provides that information to the storage system so
that we can load assets which don't use the default. For example, this
allows loading JPG-format backdrops.
In support of this change, there's a new function on `StringUtil` called
`splitFirst`, which splits a string on the first instance of a separator
character. This change includes unit tests for this new function.
