Standard: Support ES8 (ES 2017), in addition to ES7 (ES 2016)

[jescalan]

With the latest version of standard, this code produces an error, but is perfectly valid es6:

async () => { console.log('hello') }

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here? I'd think someone else would have noticed this before...

We support ES7 at the moment, but async actually is part of the ES8 spec.

(ESLint supports ES8, so we can try updating to that again. I only updated us to ES7 earlier this week since in ES8 mode, I ran into a parse bug that treated async as a reserved word which broke valid uses like cb({ async: true }). That was just fixed in espree, though.

I'll give this another shot.

Okay, new version of standard just released that support ES8, including async and await. Enjoy!

8.3.0.
