[PATCH 11/19] python: backport 'Remove deprecated get_event_loop calls'

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

This method was deprecated in 3.12 because it ordinarily should not be
used from coroutines; if there is not a currently running event loop,
this automatically creates a new event loop - which is usually not what
you want from code that would ever run in the bottom half.

In our case, we do want this behavior in two places:

(1) The synchronous shim, for convenience: this allows fully sync
programs to use QEMUMonitorProtocol() without needing to set up an event
loop beforehand. This is intentional to fully box in the async
complexities into the legacy sync shim.

(2) The qmp_tui shell; instead of relying on asyncio.run to create and
run an asyncio program, we need to be able to pass the current asyncio
loop to urwid setup functions. For convenience, again, we create one if
one is not present to simplify the creation of the TUI appliance.

The remaining user of get_event_loop() was in fact one of the erroneous
users that should not have been using this function: if there's no
running event loop inside of a coroutine, you're in big trouble :)
