Promises api

What

Use ES6 Promises instead of callbacks so we can easily chain actions and handle errors.

Usage:

var autoLaunch = new AutoLaunch({name: 'AwesomeApp'});

autoLaunch.enable().then(function() {
  // Do stuff when enabled
});

autoLaunch.disable().then(function() {
  // Do stuff when disabled
});

autoLaunch.isEnabled().then(function(enabled) {
  if (enabled) {
    // Do something if enabled
  } else {
    // Do something if disabled
  }
});

// Detect when something is not working
autoLaunch.disable().catch(function(error) {
  // Handle error
});

Concerns

Only compatible with node versions >= 11.13.

🍏 👍

Would be best to pass the error when calling reject.

Am all for this 👍 If you could get the tests working again that would be great.

Thanks for your contribution! 💃

@4ver I've added TODO reminders and fixed some error stuff for Linux adapter. I agree with you to separate error handling to another PR 👍.

Also keep in mind Promises support is for node versions >= 11.13. Don't know if you want to create a special branch/version due to incompatibility issues with previous releases. Other option would be to add a polyfill package, but IMHO I'd keep the library as simple and dependency-free as possible.

Thank you for your consideration 😄

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I think we should go ahead and just use https://github.com/jakearchibald/es6-promise. It's pretty lightweight so shouldn't be much of an issue.

Thanks @edulan

Cool! I'll include es6-promise then 👍
