Support for async cleanup functions? #98

Description

@chmac

I read #6 and then #7. I saw that handling streams / observables doesn't make sense here, there are other hooks.

My situation is a little different. I'm using nostr, where I create a subscription over a websocket, and then I need to unsubscribe when my component is unmounted. Is there any support for running an async cleanup function in react-async-hook?

Here's an example of what I imagine:

const fetchAndReturnCleanupFunction = async () => {
  const unsubscribeFunction = await doSomeSubscribe();
  return unusbscribeFunction
}

Where I want unsubscribeFunction to be called once my component is unmounted. I don't think that's currently possible with useAsync() right?
