Disable reparsing in insert mode

Yep, disable also clears all highlights. I'll implement a command to just pause reparsing.

(As an aside, is there a particular reason you want to pause parsing during insert mode (e.g. performance)? In that case, you may also want to play around with g:semshi#update_delay_factor.)

Yes, cursor just lags when I type.

@numirias I don't need instant reparsing in insert mode and I'd like typing to be as smooth as possible no matter how many lines a module has. That's why I think disabling it in insert mode can solve the issue.

@yevhen-m The lagging is unfortunate. Even in large files, the cursor should move smoothly. Parsing is done in a separate thread. Are you using neovim on the terminal or a particular frontend?

FWIW, I implemented a pause subcommand, so you can now do this:

    autocmd InsertEnter *.py Semshi pause
    autocmd InsertLeave *.py Semshi enable

I see a lag between the moment I type a letter and this letter is underlined and I don't like this. It looks like this is cause by delayed highlight updates. Cursor is not blocked. And it seems to me that this is a valid scenario, but I simply don't like it ;).
