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()).

Consider this trace for 4.2.0:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "electrum/util.py", line 504, in get_new_wallet_name
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/admin/Documents/Peach/MS'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "electrum/util.py", line 504, in get_new_wallet_name
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/admin/Documents/Peach/MS'
```
Note that `get_new_wallet_name` (os.listdir) can raise OSError,
and we were calling that on the main entrypoint codepath without exception-handling.
We were also calling it in the fallback codepath without exception-handling.
i.e. the GUI errored out on every startup for affected users, and without CLI usage
it was not possible to recover.
aiorpcx 0.20 changed the behaviour/API of TaskGroups.
When used as a context manager, TaskGroups no longer propagate
exceptions raised by their tasks. Instead, the calling code has
to explicitly check the results of tasks and decide whether to re-raise
any exceptions.
This is a significant change, and so this commit introduces "OldTaskGroup",
which should behave as the TaskGroup class of old aiorpcx. All existing
usages of TaskGroup are replaced with OldTaskGroup.

I think this was originally needed due to incorrect management of group lifecycles,
which our current code is doing better.
also note that if we needed this, in newer aiorpcx, the name of
the field was ~changed from `_closed` to `joined`:

Previously, msat precision was leaking through format_satoshis if the
user's base unit was set to "sat". This was a bug.
Some features of format_satoshis did not work well with such values, such
as the "whitespaces" param.
Old code:
>>> util.format_satoshis(Decimal('45831275.748'), decimal_point=2)
'458312.76'
>>> util.format_satoshis(Decimal('45831275.748'), decimal_point=0)
'45831275.748'
New code:
>>> util.format_satoshis(Decimal('45831275.748'), decimal_point=2)
'458312.76'
>>> util.format_satoshis(Decimal('45831275.748'), decimal_point=0)
'45831276.'

It's not just about the Synchronizer, the Verifier should not starve other jobs either...
(previously I thought the Verifier is not too important as it only makes
requests if there are new txs; however with LNWatcher its progress is not persisted)
e.g. consider:
>>> 1.5 * 2 ** 2000
Traceback (most recent call last):
