Async onStepChanging

[alexey-baranov]

We use jquery-steps for online kiosks UI. Every time user click "Next" kiosk checks data from WebDB wich is async. So the workflow looks like :

1. User click "Next"
2. onStepChanging call WebDB queqy and return false because we don't know result at this time
3. WebDB query returns result and call $(wizard).steps("next") again
4. onStepChanging return true

If WebDB query get 5 seconds then user look current step in wrong state during this 5 seconds. It's very confusing.

We ask you rewrite onStepChanging for async workflows.

The other usefull scanario is calling ajax request to the server from onStepChanging wich is async too.

@alexey-baranov could you explain how you did step3? "WebDB query returns result and call $(wizard).steps("next") again".

I wonder how you did this. Maybe you could check #323
