await operator should not be used on a non-Promise value

- es8
This rule applies when the await operator is used on a non-Promise value.
await operator pauses the execution of the current async function until the operand Promise is resolved.
When the Promise is resolved, the execution is resumed and the resolved value is used as the result of the await.
Although awaiting a non-Promise value is possible under the JavaScript specification (it will be converted to a resolved Promise), it is often a programmer's mistake and may cause an unexpected order of execution.

var result = await doSomethingAfter1Sec(say('Hi')); // AWAIT_NON_PROMISE alarm because 'doSomethingAfter1Sec(...)' is not Promise.
console.log('Result: ' + result);
console.log('End');

await [1, 2, 3].map(x => doSomethingAfter1Sec(say(x))); // AWAIT_NON_PROMISE alarm because awaiting an array has no effect.
console.log('End');
