Cannot parse less files synchronously even when imports are ignored

[brenmar]

The current version of of the API does not allow the parsing of less files synchronously using the API in node (or other server / build time processing system) even when import processing (the only reason the execution path is asynchronous) is disabled via the processImports: false option, despite this execution path actually being synchronous, it just does not return the result in a way that can be used synchronously (i.e. return the result, not just pass it to the callback).

node respects a syncImport option. this doesn't work for imports specified as a URL but does work for files.

to get the result syncronously, you can just wrap the function, e.g. something like this

function syncLess() {
   var result;
    async(function(a) {
           result = a;
       });
    return result;
}
