Addresses UK 339 [CD1]

Move assignment is going in the wrong direction, assigning from `*this` to the passed rvalue, and then returning a reference to an unusable `*this`.

[ Summit: ]

> Agree, move to Review.

[ Batavia (2009-05): ]

> We recommend deferring this issue until after Detlef's paper (on futures) has been issued.

[ 2009-10 Santa Cruz: ]

> NAD Editorial Resolved. Addressed by N2997.

Proposed resolution:

Strike 33.10.6 [futures.promise] p6 and change p7:

>     promise& operator=(promise&& rhs);

> > -6- Effects: move assigns its associated state to `rhs`.

> > -7- Postcondition: `*this` has no associated state. associated state of `*this` is the same as the associated state of `rhs` before the call. `rhs` has no associated state.
