Option to disable re-linting after each key press #50

When dealing with large files (>~1000 lines) typing is very laggy because it is re-linted every keypress. It would be nice to have the option to show a button to lint instead of linting automatically.

The website was not really designed with that use case in mind. If you're using JSHint to modify large programs, installing JSHint locally would be preferable for a number of reasons beyond ergonomics (e.g. the ability to save your work to disk and to execute the code).

I suppose this extension couldn't hurt, but I don't expect many people will be motivated to contribute the code.
