Change subject: Add async parameter to ItemPage.editEntity ......................................................................

Add async parameter to ItemPage.editEntity

'asynchronous' parameter enables ItemPage.editEntity to edit an entity asynchronously, which can be used in Wikidata bots.

TODO: - needs better exception handling? (T86083) - new callback argument, just like in BasePage.save()
