Let tasks depend on each other #4

Possibly related to #1

I'd like a way for tasks to depend on other tasks. Right now I can render geometry and upload new mesh data to staging buffers at the same time, but the task to copy data from the staging buffers to the main mesh buffer needs to wait on both those tasks. I can use AtomicCounters to accomplish this, but I'd like something a bit more formalized

It'd be great to be able to say task.when_complete(task_to_perform), and be able to override what it means for a task to be complete - some of mine are complete when the CPU finishes executing them, some are complete when the GPU is done with its work
