[CLOSED] Allow asynchronous linting providers

Originally opened as adobe/brackets#5137

---

Some existing Brackets extensions do linting via a web service, so they can't use the new generic linting API because it requires a synchronous result. The API should allow providers to return a Promise.

These extensions include:

• https://github.com/jeffslofish/brackets-PHPCS-client
• https://github.com/davidderaedt/appcache-gen

This would also allow for linters that invoke Node-side modules or even external tools (e.g. ruby -wc).

Marking move to backlog since this is a feature, but pinging@ingorichter since he's thinking about this stuff already.

Added an epic for Linting (https://trello.com/c/HbygrWHv) and linked this from that card. Closing.

Check out my notes in #6151 -- that highlights some the issues to be aware of. Also note that@busykai from that pull request may already be working on implementing this. If so,@busykai can you post an update to the forum thread@fdecampredon linked above? That way you guys can coordinate / collaborate as needed :-)
