pkg/package: remove promise package
The promise package represents a simple enough concurrency pattern that
replicating it in place is sufficient. To end the propagation of this
package, it has been removed and the uses have been inlined.

While this code could likely be refactored to be simpler without the
package, the changes have been minimized to reduce the possibility of
defects. Someone else may want to do further refactoring to remove
closures and reduce the number of goroutines in use.

README.md

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.

Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible. If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.

The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!

Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
