1304. Missing preconditions for shared_future

Discussion:

The revised futures package in the current working paper simplified the is_ready/has_exception/has_value set of APIs, replacing them with a single 'valid' method. This method is used in many places to signal pre- and post- conditions, but that edit is not complete. Each method on a shared_future that requires an associated state should have a pre-condition that valid() == true.
