/** Execution context.
 *  A bag of data that collects information along a callstack.
 *  Generally created at public API entry points, and passed down as
 *  pointer to child functions that manipulate it.
 *
 *  Specific responsibilities (this may grow in the future):
 *  - track a list of work that needs to be delayed until the top of the
 *    call stack (this provides a convenient mechanism to run callbacks
 *    without worrying about locking issues)
 *  - provide a decision maker (via grpc_exec_ctx_ready_to_finish) that provides
 *    signal as to whether a borrowed thread should continue to do work or
 *    should actively try to finish up and get this thread back to its owner
 *
 *  CONVENTIONS:
 *  - Instance of this must ALWAYS be constructed on the stack, never
 *    heap allocated.
 *  - Instances and pointers to them must always be called exec_ctx.
 *  - Instances are always passed as the first argument to a function that
 *    takes it, and always as a pointer (grpc_exec_ctx is never copied).
