Description
## What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
Assets need to be loaded before they can be delayed. However, with good reason, the asset loader does not block. In order to deal with this, you either need to wait until all of the assets are loaded or handle the possibility that your assets might not exist.
## What solution would you like?
Bevy has a first-class built-in solution with minimal boilerplate. The state solution seems like a nice building block, but I'm not sure exactly what the correct API should be.
## What alternative(s) have you considered?
State solution from [examples](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/2d/texture_atlas.rs#L39).
Resource solution from [cheatbook](https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/cookbook/assets-ready.html).
Both of these require a great deal of complex boilerplate.
## Additional context
Async systems (#1393) might be the tool to solve this. Distill integration (#708) might also solve this.
