/**
 * Promisify all functions in a module.
 *
 * This is meant to be used only when all functions in the module are async
 * callback-style functions.
 *
 * It's very much tailored to our current module structure. In particular, it
 * binds `this` to the module when calling the function in order not to break
 * modules that call sibling functions using `this`.
 *
 * This will not magically fix all modules. Special cases should be promisified
 * manually.
 *
 * The second argument is a bag of options:
 *
 * - without: an array of function names that shouldn't be promisified
 *
 * - multiResult: an object whose keys are function names and values are lists
 *   of parameter names. This is meant for functions that invoke their callbacks
 *   with more than one result in separate parameters. The promisifed function
 *   will return these results as a single object, with each result keyed under
 *   the corresponding parameter name.
