Add monkeypatching hack on the event loop

Previously inside slixmpp, it’s cleaner to do it only in poezio.

+A module that monkey patches the standard asyncio module to add an
+idle_call() method to the main loop. This method is used to execute a
+callback whenever the loop is not busy handling anything else. This means
+that it is a callback with lower priority than IO, timer, or even
+call_soon() ones. These callback are called only once each.
