Implement platform-specialized `Queue`s for ScalaJS #2889

This is probably super-easy because you just don't have to worry about concurrency at all. Given an Async[F], you can do a stupid-simple UnsafeBounded and UnsafeUnbounded from #2885 that should run faster on JavaScript than the JVM versions (which have to guard a lot of complex multi-threaded cases).

The main problem is that we probably shouldn't do this until we have benchmarking infrastructure for ScalaJS. This is unquestionably worth doing in and of itself.
