Description
Currently Tortoise only supports code using the stdlib asyncio framework. I have a project that uses the trio async framework and I wanted to use Tortoise for the database functionality but ran into errors from Tortoise using asyncio.
The changes required to support trio would be substituting asyncio with the anyio package. This would most likely require some API changes to support the structured concurrency patterns used in trio/anyio.
I likely won't end up using Tortoise in my trio-based project, at least for now, but I wanted to open this issue to see whether this might be possible to support.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Tortoise's use of the stdlib asyncio framework and the proposed anyio substitution. Assess the API changes needed for Trio and anyio structured-concurrency patterns; done means Tortoise can provide database functionality to Trio-based projects without asyncio-related errors.
