title: AssetSources now give an `async_channel::Sender` instead of a `crossbeam_channel::Sender`

Previously, when creating an asset source, AssetSourceBuilder::with_watcher would provide users with a crossbeam_channel::Sender. Now, this has been changed to async_channel::Sender.

If you were previously calling sender.send(AssetSourceEvent::ModifiedAsset("hello".into())), now it would be sender.send_blocking(AssetSourceEvent::ModifiedAsset("hello".into())). These channels are very comparable, so finding an analogous method between crossbeam_channel and async_channel should be straight forward.
