Should exist an async version of compute #25890

Description

@neokree

The compute method is really a good way to push a heavy job in background, but I think that it have a major drawback: It cannot accept async methods for his callback.

This forces everyone who wants just to do a background job that require something asynchronous to learn all isolate low level concept. (For which there is not a good documentation at this time of writing).

It would be nice that flutter provides a new compute method for asynchronous tasks.
Can you please think about it?
