Previously, pytest-asyncio used a combination of low-level asyncio functions to manage event loops. This patch replaces the low-level functions with the use of asyncio.Runner. The runner takes care of cancelling remaining tasks at the end of its scope, avoiding errors about pending tasks. This also fixes an issue that caused RuntimeErrors in abanoned tasks that called functions which depend on a running loop. Moreover, the use of asyncio.Runner allows backporting the propagation of contextvars from fixtures to tests to Python 3.9 and Python 3.10.

The runner takes care of cancelling remaining tasks at the end of its scope, avoiding errors about pending tasks. This also fixes an issue that caused RuntimeErrors in abanoned tasks that called functions which depend on a running loop.
Moreover, the use of asyncio.Runner and its backport allows backporting the propagation of contextvars from fixtures to tests to Python 3.9 and Python 3.10.
