      * Move the splitting of licenses to an isolate
      
      This improves (from horrific to terrible) the performance of the
      license screen. It also introduces a feature in the foundation layer
      to make using isolates for one-off computations easier.
      
      The real problem that remains with this, though, is that transfering
      data between isolates is a stop-the-world operation and can take an
      absurd amount of time (far more than a few milliseconds), so we still
      skip frames.
      
      More work thus remains to be done.
      
      * - Add profile instrumentation to the isolate compute() method
      - Add profile instrumentation to the LicensePage
      - Add profile instrumentation to the scheduleTask method
      - Make scheduleTask support returning a value
      - Make the license page builder logic use scheduled tasks so that it doesn't blow the frame budget
