ummm the void *data when creating the job never is passed as anything to
promise callbacks. why have it at all? it's misleading. it's useless. i sat
down and had to figure out what is and isn't passed because it was entirely
unclear what was passed or not. value is the promise. i've printfed it's values
trying to figure out what gets passed where. bizarre that it is but whatever.
but data from the job is unused. data from the eina_promise_then is used and
passed as data to the cb's
