Fixes pytest-dev#1355. Replace the deprecated uvloop.EventLoopPolicy() with the modern pattern using asyncio.get_event_loop_policy() and setting the event loop class directly. This maintains compatibility with recent uvloop versions while providing the same functionality.
…guide shed (isort) requires a blank line separating stdlib imports from third-party imports. Add the blank line between `import asyncio` and `import pytest` / `import uvloop`.

Summary
The uvloop integration guide uses
uvloop.EventLoopPolicy()directly, which is deprecated in recent versions of uvloop. This update replaces it with the recommended pattern usingasyncio.get_event_loop_policy()andpolicy.set_event_loop_class(uvloop.EventLoop).Changes

Users following the current guide get a
DeprecationWarningfrom uvloop when using theEventLoopPolicyapproach. The new pattern is the officially recommended way to integrate uvloop per the uvloop changelog.
