async/await: Don't trigger uncaught rejection handlers on throwaway Promises

This patch implements a bug fix to the async/await specification described
at https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/692#issuecomment-247488411
Namely, the intermediate values of Promises may be rejected, and they do
not have .then called on them anymore (now that the memory leak is fixed),
but they do not correspond do unhandled rejections. This change has been
tested manually with integration with Blink; once it is checked in and
rolled, then further tests can be added on the Blink side for the uncaught
rejection handler and async/await.
