[GNU ELPA] Futur version 2.0

Version 2.0 of package Futur has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.

Futur describes itself as:

  ==================================
  Future/promise-based async library
  ==================================

## Summary:

  Futur is a library to try and make async programming a bit easier.
  It is inspired from Javscript's async/await, Haskell's monads,
  and ConcurrentML's events.

  You can create trivial futures with `futur-done`.
  You can create a "process future" with `futur-process-call`.
  And the main way to use futures is to compose them with `futur-let*`,
  which can be used as follows:

      (futur-let*
	  ((buf (current-buffer))
	   (exitcode1 <- (futur-process-call CMD1 nil buf nil ARG1 ARG2))
	   (out (with-current-buffer buf
		  (buffer-string)))  ;; Get the process's output.
	   (exitcode2 <- (futur-process-call CMD2 nil buf nil ARG3 ARG4)))
	(with-current-buffer buf
	  (concat out (buffer-string))))
