Description
PSSA2 should provide an API set that allows hosts to run PSSA asynchronously.
This includes:
- A set of asynchronous methods to run analysis, with cancellation token support
- A new rule executor that provides an asynchronous run strategy, including for non-threadsafe rules
- An asynchronous rule API for rules wishing to implement their own asynchronous methods
- It should be possible to implement an asynchronous and synchronous rule in the same class
- An asynchronous harness for running synchronous rules with a minimum of overhead

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the existing analysis entry points, rule executor, rule API, and synchronous harness; the issue names no files or tests. Done means hosts can run analysis asynchronously with cancellation, non-threadsafe rules have an asynchronous strategy, rules can provide asynchronous and synchronous methods, and synchronous rules can run through an asynchronous harness.
