[keycloak-dev] Async HTTP Request Processing

[Bill Burke]

JAX-RS async can be enabled per resource, so its really up to you to 
decide if Authz needs it.

Async doesn't make sense for core KC autthentication.  KC Identity 
broker does not wait/block for a response on a login. Authenticators are 
not waiting/blocking for responses either. Waiting/blocking only happens 
on backchannel logouts and background admin operations.  Somebody is 
going to have to show me real tangible benefits before we switch core KC 
to use Async JAX-RS or some async event driven SPI, because right now, 
with our currently functionality and our roadmap, there is no need for 
an async model.
