Allow to specify an Executor instance to be used with future-call

Question

This adds an arity to future-call that expects a java.util.concurrent/ExecutorService instance to be used instead of clojure.lang.Agent/soloExecutor.

Rich Hickey committed a change on Dec 21, 2012 to the future-call function that made the patch bac37b91230d8e4ab3a1e6042a6e8c4b7e9cbf53.patch dated Nov 18 2012 no longer apply cleanly.

clj-1108-enhance-future-call-patch-v2.txt dated Dec 26 2012 is identical to that earlier patch, except it has been updated to apply cleanly to the latest master.

It would be best if Max Penet, author of the earlier patch, could verify I've merged his patch to the latest Clojure master correctly.
