Compatibility to devel / Nim 2 + ORC

[TechThupport]

Not really an issue but more of a clarification if chronos will be ported to be compatible with Nim devel branch or Nim 2. According to Araq the release should be happening soon or within 2022.

The CI is ran with multiple Nim versions, including devel: https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L25
It's impossible to guarantee devel compatibility at all time since they may break anything at anytime, but we try our best to be compatible with devel. I also think that chronos is part of the important_packages of the Nim CI

This sould be clarified in the README, indeed

I'm mainly getting the below error when trying to compile for windows with --mm:orc

Not sure if this is only an issue for me or what. Chronos 3.0.11 installed:

chronos/asyncmacro2.nim(126, 31) Error: 'handleRequest' is not GC-safe as it calls 'selectExt'

Found out this is only a problem when using the nim-websock library

websock-0.1.0/websock/websock.nim(258, 5) template/generic instantiation of `async` from here

It is fixed now with latest commit to websock
