This PR introduces the new fixture event_loop_policy. The fixture returns an instance of an asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy. By default, the fixture has session (i.e. it is accessible by all tests) and returns the value of asyncio.get_event_loop_policy().
Users can run pytest-asyncio tests with different types of event loops by redefining the fixture to return a different event loop policy. Parametrizing the fixture causes pytest-asyncio tests to be run once for each specified policy. This allows writing tests against multiple different types of event loops.
Although the concept of event loop policies is likely going to be deprecated in CPython 3.13, it was decided that this functionality is still going to land in pytest-asyncio. Starting with CPython 3.13, pytest-asyncio will provide a migration path for the deprecated policy system.
