Proposed method: showText()

[redbassett]

As noted in #50, this is a proposal to add an alias method showText() that combines commonly used lines of code:

myToast.text = "Hello World!";
myToast.show();

myToast.showText("Hello World!");

This method would serve to reduce the need to use the two lines in the former snippet in conjunction, especially if the setting and immediate showing of text in a <paper-toast> element is a common action across an app or component.

What if instead we have a properties object passed to show method?
Something like:

myToast.show({
  text: "Hello World",
  duration: 3000
});

The toast will either set the new values or keep the old ones, and open the toast right after.

If properties is a string, we can assume it is the text property, which will allow to just call

myToast.show("Hello World");

This is compatible with the old usage of show too 🎉

I like that idea!

Backwards compatible and doesn't require the redundant method!
