change and Feature: jQuery.Deferred is now Promises/A+

Yay! There are subtle but important differences, I recommend reading the
deferred section of the upgrade-guide
<https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/#deferred>, which does a good job
explaining the changes.
One change to Promise behavior that I don't see mentioned there (although I
may have missed it) that bit oojs-ui is that the behavior greatly changed
when passing a promise (or any "thenable") as the first argument to
.resolve(). Instead of resolving it with the given promise passed to the
original promise's handlers as you might expect, Promises/A+ decided that
you want to effectively retroactively reattach all the handlers to the new
promise instead.
