use async_hooks

[mafintosh]

Uses async_hooks to track the handles and stacks. Much, much cleaner but only supported by node >= 8 AFAIK (cc @andreas_madsen).

Thoughts @ralphtheninja @yoshuawuyts ?

@mafintosh I know that you usually want to have support for many node versions, but iirc there has been some problems with this module due to differences in node implementations. In this case, moving up to node 8 to make it work better and also cleaner code is a good trade off.

New major I guess 😉

@mafintosh cleaner, I like it

2.0.0

This decision is not user friendly; the README doesn't state that Node 8 is required, there's no CHANGELOG or release notes, you don't have an engines in your package.json that would have highlighted the problem, and there's a lot of folks still on Node 6.

I get wanting to use the latest technologies. Please find a balance by updating documentation (state in the README the version requirements and what to do if you don't have it), enforcement (package.json engines), and using release notes to declare why it's a major version.

Example:

Node 8 and above:

npm i why-is-node-running

Earlier Node versions (no longer supported):

npm i why-is-node-running@v1.x

Starred this three weeks ago, finally got around to it :-)
