Pyinotify, for Python 3.12+

This fork was created so that pyinotify can be used on Python 3.12 and up. As of Python 3.12, the asyncore libary and a few others were removed. Since this was really only included in pynotify for backwards compability, the asyncore functionality has been completely removed, since Python 3 has asyncio
