Added Bonus Section implementing a proper Parker
The problems addressed in the earlier version led to an "incorrect" example which is bad to pass along after reading a whole book. after getting some feedback in #2 i decided to show how we can create a proper `Parker`. The main example (which I assume most interested readers will copy) now uses a proper parking thechnique so there should be no more dataraces left. I also removed the "Reader Excercise" paragraph suggesting that they explore a way to implement proper parking since we now show that in our main example.

readability and make it easier to reason about. In addition I fixed a mistake
|

in the `Poll` method and a possible race condition. See #2 for more details.

**2020-04-13:** Added a "bonus section" to the [Implementing Futures chapter](https://cfsamson.github.io/books-futures-explained/6_future_example.html) where we avoid using `thread::park` and instead show how we
|
||||
can use a `Condvar` and a `Mutex` to create a proper `Parker`. Updated the [Finished Example](https://cfsamson.github.io/books-futures-explained/8_finished_example.html) to reflect these changes. Unfortunately, this led us
|
||||
a few lines over my initial promis of keeping the example below 200 LOC but the I think the inclusion
|
||||
is worth it.
