create_user

BaseUser now has a create_user method, which adds some extra password validation vs just instantiating and saving BaseUser directly.

>>> await BaseUser.create_user(username='bob', password='abc123XYZ')
<BaseUser: 1>

We check that passwords are a reasonable length, and aren't already hashed. See PR 402.

async first

All of the docs have been updated to show the async version of queries.

For example:

# Previous:
Band.select().run_sync()

# Now:
await Band.select()

Most people use Piccolo in async apps, and the playground supports top level await, so you can just paste in await Band.select() and it will still work. See PR 407.

We decided to use await Band.select() instead of await Band.select().run(). Both work, and have their merits, but the simpler version is probably easier for newcomers.
