New command to toggle running the asyncio loop (similar to python -m asyncio) !

[lonetwin]

pythonrc.py is now async capable !

Now, you can declare async def functions and await on them from the python prompt. This ability is enabled using the config.TOGGLE_ASYNCIO_LOOP_CMD (defaults to \A),

Details

This functionality is mostly borrowed from the stdlib implementation of asyncio.__main__. The essential idea being that on invoking the \A command:

• a new asyncio loop is started in the main interpreter thread
• a new (nested) interpreter session is launched in a separate thread (which shares the stdin/stdout/stderror since we don't do anything special beyond launching the new session
• the asyncio loop will continue to run until \A is invoked again
  • at which point the loop is stopped ...but the nested interpreter is not automatically exited
  • when the nested interpreter is exited (for instance using Ctrl+d), you are landed back into the original instance of the interpreter
• a subsequent \A will restart the thread (potentially, also restarting the nested interpreter, if that was exited)

Other changes:

• Start using isort --profile black pythonrc.py
• black-en pythonrc.py
• mypy clean pythonrc.py
• Edit history with cursor at the last line
