Description

Currently, it is difficult (even with `trio-asyncio`) to mix `asyncio`-using and `trio`-using libraries in the same project. Replacing direct use of `asyncio` throughout `asyncpg` with `anyio` will allow users to choose the concurrency backend that they prefer and increase `asyncpg`'s compatibility with other async libraries.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by mapping direct asyncio use throughout asyncpg and determining the scope of anyio and Trio compatibility; the work is complete when asyncpg no longer relies directly on asyncio for the covered paths and users can choose their preferred concurrency backend.
