Use async features from Vim 8 and/or NeoVim #2

Hi @djoshea. Both Vim and NeoVim now provides async features. I didn't dig it further but it may be worth an analysis if it can be used by vim-autoread to improve its reload implementation. As far as I know the only possible implementations before involved some kind of user interaction to trigger the reload, which now may not be a limitation anymore.

So I'm opening this feature request.

Just registering it's being implemented in a competing plugin for Vim 8: https://github.com/chrisbra/vim-autoread.
