Slave should make sure that the containerizer::launch returned Future is ready

    Description

      Currently the slave is not awaiting the Future<Nothing> returned by Containerizer::Launch before sending out more command events.

      Is there a reason for this behavior?

      This issue becomes apparent only when having a launch-command-implementations that is relatively "expensive".

      So what I can see here is the following chain of events along a vertical time axis:

      Launch
         |
         |  Wait
         |    |
         |    | Update 
         |    |    |
         ----------Launch Future<Nothing> became ready
      

      What I would like to see is:

      Launch
         |
         |
         |
         |
         |
         ----------Launch Future<Nothing> became ready
            Wait
              |
              | Update 
              |    |
      

      As we are currently pushing the former behavior into the implementation of the containerizer, things quickly get rather complicated on that side. Hence I would like to understand if that is something we really want / need or if we might want to fix this within the slave in a longer run.

      So far, I have only observed this to be a challenge for Launch, but other events might just as well be worth a thought on enforced chaining instead of concurrent invocations.
