Rename $defer() function

[ThomasBurleson]

Promise/A, jQuery.Deferred and other libraries provide futures functionality using deferred, defer, and promise.

In contrast, the AngularJS.$defer() is actually a $wait() or $delay() feature. Thus I request that the $defer() be renamed to $wait() or $pause().

I see how this can be confusing. Especially with the recent addition of promises/futures which landed in master. I like the idea of renaming it to $delay unless a better name shows up. (wait makes it look like a synchronous api, so I don't like that name).

An alternative name could also be $callLater(); but in Flash call later delays the call only for 1 frame (typically ~24 ms).
