Durable async background support? #209

Hey,

It would be really cool if we could use the app in an async manner (e.g. switching to other apps in mobile while it is generating or closing the tab in the browser while it's working). It will enable features such as fire and forget and get an email upon completion, and would make mobile use much more intuitive (navigate somewhere else while it's working, come back after a few minutes to a completed state). Would also solve bugs related to managing the restoration checkpoints and edge cases. Currently the DO shuts down and starts from where the state machine left off. Could we continue running in the background even if no active connections are present? Maybe using something like cloudflare workflow?

Thanks!
