Inheritance was overkill here, and now we can use inheritance for new functionality X
without having to create classes for all combinations of {X, is_testnet}.
asyncio.get_event_loop() became deprecated in python3.10. (see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/83710)
```
.../electrum/electrum/daemon.py:470: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop
self.asyncio_loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
.../electrum/electrum/network.py:276: DeprecationWarning: There is no current event loop
self.asyncio_loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
```
Also, according to that thread, "set_event_loop() [... is] not deprecated by oversight".
So, we stop using get_event_loop() and set_event_loop() in our own code.
Note that libraries we use (such as the stdlib for python <3.10), might call get_event_loop,
which then relies on us having called set_event_loop e.g. for the GUI thread. To work around
this, a custom event loop policy providing a get_event_loop implementation is used.
Previously, we have been using a single asyncio event loop, created with
util.create_and_start_event_loop, and code in many places got a reference to this loop
using asyncio.get_event_loop().
Now, we still use a single asyncio event loop, but it is now stored as a global in
util._asyncio_event_loop (access with util.get_asyncio_loop()).
I believe these changes also fix https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5376
Adds liquidity hints for the sending capabilities of routing channels in the
graph. The channel blacklist is incorporated into liquidity hints.
Liquidity hints are updated when a payment fails with a temporary
channel failure or when it succeeds. Liquidity hints are used to give a
penalty in the _edge_cost heuristics used by the pathfinding algorithm.
The base penalty in (_edge_cost) is removed because it is now part of the
liquidity penalty. We don't return early from get_distances, as we want
to explore all channels.

We pass the private edges to lnrouter, and let it find routes end-to-end.
Previously the edge_cost heuristics didn't apply to the private edges
and we were just randomly picking one of the route hints and use that.
So e.g. cheaper private edges were not preferred, but they are now.
PathEdge now stores both start_node and end_node; not just end_node.
Old estimate was heavily biased towards simply minimising CLTV sum.
(fees had a too low weight; typically they were ~noise)
Now also take payment_amount into account.
The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.
