support async hook calls

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

follow-up/spin out to #151

it should be possible to have a a await transparent hook caller interface that allows to await hooks

optionally integrated with https://greenback.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ so that accidentally wrongly coloured hooks can be worked around

• basic await transparency
• apis/entrypoints for async hook calling from a normal hook manager
• define what happens when a async hook call happens
• define how sync/async hooks interact (do we need async first internals)
• consider https://simonwillison.net/2020/Sep/2/await-me-maybe/
• write up a guide on hook colors

May I ask that if this feature is under developing? or just in future's plan. I'm considering to choose the plugin framework.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

It's currently on hold due to time constraints, initial Experiments are done, Implementation hopefully can continue after I release setuptools-scm 8 , the Wish is to Land async pluggy this year, but the reality is that it may easily take until next year

I've noticed setuptools_scm 8 is out. Does that mean development can continue on this? 😋

This would also be a big help to us
