Are generated bindings blocking or not

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

There is no special semantics associated to native methods. E.g. you 
would get the same blocking behavior you'd get when calling the function 
with C: if the function returns immediately, that same function, invoked 
via a downcall method handle should also return immediately.

If the target function spins an asynchronous thread and performs some 
extra execution there, Panama will *not* wait for that computation to 
end (again, same as C).
