Add a "listen for event" function

See original GitHub issue

Overview

This is something I would have liked to see some additional functionality in brownie from.

Specification

Maybe the API looks something like:

from ape import networks

event = networks.listen_for_event(contract_address, event_name, timeout=200)

I made a custom edition of this in my chainlink-mix would be great for ape to have this built-in.

OK yeah reading more closely, you are trying to basically have an async type deal that waits for a log and then carries on with something else once it arrives, right?
