A recent paper on effect systems with haskell included an implementation for delimited continuations^^

The purpose of this pr is to add the new module, which @raulraja @nomisRev and me have been working on lately, which implements delimited continuations in kotlin over suspend. (Or something very close to delimited continuations^^)
These implementations are currently split across capabilities (Nesting scopes, multishot) to provide an overview how each feature works. Ideally we'd have Nested scopes and multishot support but that is kind of complicated and thus not included.
The purpose of this pr is (if I understood @raulraja correctly 🙈) simply adding the module (and api documentation which I will add over the next days) so that further prs can change our existing fx implementations to use delimited continuations in order to slowly chop away the hacky fx code. This should not yet replace fx for nondet carriers (lists/sequences) because I do not consider the multishot included here to be ready. I will create a detailed document/issue for discussion there after this pr is merged.
At some point we also need to have a discussion between folding/binding monadic code versus providing effects directly but thats a different story altogether.
Unless @raulraja or @nomisRev have something to add I'll mark this pr as ready after adding some documentation to each implementation.
Oh and before I forget: I am pretty sure this version does not yet allow interleaving of arbitrary suspend code, so that is also something to look at.
When this pr is merged a few things should happen:
