async support

[DeityLamb]

hey! I really like your library.
Do you have any plans to support async?

Hey! Thanks for your interest!

I tried some approach few years ago but yes, I have it in my mind to try again.

Do you have any specific requirements (like support for specific runtime)?

[DeityLamb]

Not sure how specific this task is 🤔
I would be happy if there was an opportunity to asynchronously check a hash in the tokio runtime.

Thank you for the quick response 😸

Hey @DeityLamb!

I have done some basic draft PR just to take a look at async ecosystem available nowadays.

It seems that there is no available replacement for IsTerminal::is_terminal known from the std.

I will open some issues and will see - maybe someone is going to add it. Concurrently I am planning to finish implementation and add unit tests. Keeps your fingers crossed!

Huh, finally. Apologise @DeityLamb that it took so long time.

Should work good enough with Tokio. I have tried to implement async-std too but it didn't work very well.

Worth to notice that it may work slower than sync implementation (due to context switch and so on).

[DeityLamb]

Thank you very much for your work!

Glad to see for happy users! Come back with new suggestions.
