Async support

[lengau]

This is based on #156 and #224, but I can't reopen those.

In #156 this was marked as a priority but Python 2.7 support was listed as a blocker. As the earliest version of Python now supported is 3.5 (which is after asyncio was introduced), it seems this blocker has been removed. Since a lot of Python applications (especially webapps) are moving over to async, it would be nice not to have to make workarounds to implement Google Maps support.

Hello, i made a small wrapper. https://github.com/hzlmn/aiogmaps if it reasonable i can init some work on async client to possibly merge it together. Having async client is really critical as more and more tools are getting async apis even Django pretty close to it.

I have plans to do this. Hopefully later this year.
