Tests fail for pytest-asyncio==0.17.0

[sphuber]

Since pytest-asyncio==0.17.0 was released on January 13th, the tests are broken. See this build as an example. Tests are failing because the loop is closed (see exception below). This may be because they changed the way async tests are automatically marked in the new version and now the event loop that gets used automatically gets closed after each test.

@muhrin would be good if you could have a look

A upper limit was temporarily imposed in #5309

A upper limit was temporarily imposed in #5309

Just noting that the pin is still there. I'll see if newer pytest-asyncio versions work, and if not how much work it would be to make them work.
