Any plans to use async libs instead of threads?

[JPHutchins]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It seems like sync libs are being used and tossed onto OS threads, are there any plans to use asyncio libs? e.g. aiomqtt instead of paho mqtt https://github.com/empicano/aiomqtt

azure-iot-sdk-python/azure-iot-device/azure/iot/device/common/async_adapter.py

Lines 16 to 33 in e75d1c2

	def emulate_async(fn):
	"""Returns a coroutine function that calls a given function with emulated asynchronous
	behavior via use of multithreading.
	Can be applied as a decorator.
	:param fn: The sync function to be run in async.
	:returns: A coroutine function that will call the given sync function.
	"""
	@functools.wraps(fn)
	async def async_fn_wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
	loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
	# Run fn in default ThreadPoolExecutor (CPU * 5 threads)
	return await loop.run_in_executor(None, functools.partial(fn, *args, **kwargs))
	return async_fn_wrapper

Describe the solution you'd like
Usage of asyncio.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If I had to I suppose I would just implement the calls manually.

Currently there are no plans for this. We want to retain the same stack to ensure identical functionality on our sync/async APIs. We may consider this again in the future.
