Yes, I think we should avoid preparing subclasses' core features until the
superclass's core feature is ready. I'm aware that this is a new guarantee that
we didn't previously have, but I think the semantics I proposed here are
probably what we want.

Preparation is implicitly started by creating the object, but if the API user
calls tp_proxy_prepare_async twice at different times, it can return FALSE then
TRUE (if a buggy CM-under-test crashes the first time, then works correctly the
second time, for instance).
