This change causes a new $digest to be scheduled in the next tick if
a task was was sent to the $evalAsync queue from outside of a $digest
or an $apply.
While this mode of operation is not common for most of the user code,
this change means that $q promises that utilze $evalAsync queue to
guarantee asynchronicity of promise apis will now also resolve outside
of a $digest, which turned out to be a big pain point for some developers.
The implementation ensures that we don't do more work than needed and
that we coalese as much work as possible into a single $digest.
The use of $browser instead of setTimeout ensures that we can mock out
and control the scheduling of "auto-flush", which should in theory
allow all of the existing code and tests to work without negative
side-effects.

Make sure $timeout callbacks are forgotten about immediately after
execution or cancellation.
Previously when passing invokeApply=false, the cleanup used $q and so
would be pending until the next $digest was triggered. This does not
make a large functional difference, but can be very visible when
looking at memory consumption of an app or debugging around the
$$asyncQueue - these callbacks can have a big retaining tree.
Added a comma separator in the statement

Used whose instead of who's in the following statement
Italicized false in the statement

we now have two types of namespaces:
- true namespace: angular.* - used for all global apis
- virtual namespace: ng.*, ngMock.*, ... - used for all DI modules
the virual namespaces have services under the second namespace level (e.g. ng.)
and filters and directives prefixed with filter: and directive: respectively
(e.g. ng.filter:orderBy, ng.directive:ngRepeat)
this simplifies urls and makes them a lot shorter while still avoiding name collisions
$timeout has a better name ($defer got often confused with something related to $q) and
is actually promise based with cancelation support.
With this commit the $defer service is deprecated and will be removed before 1.0.
Closes#704, #532
