Support asyncio views

[bellini666]

Use contextvars instead of threading.local to support async views.

I tried to do the smallest changes that I could, but using contextvars that code can be simplified a lot.

Hi,

Thanks for this! It's a good change. Unfortunately, it requires Python 3.7+, which is going to be supported by Django LTS until early 2024!

I'd like to keep this MR open until then, but I don't think I can drop support for Python 3.6 while Django LTS supports its.

Alternatively, I'd consider a compatibility shim that used contextvars and fell back to thread-local state. That seems like it would be a relatively unobtrusive change.

Hey @etianen ,

I would argue that, even though Django 3.2 (the current LTS) should be supported until early 2024, Python 3.6 already reached EOL (https://endoflife.date/python) and should not be used anymore by anyone. People using 3.2 can (and should) use at least Python 3.7 (the latest version supports even Python 3.10).

But if you really want to maintain compatibility, I can write a compatibility shim.

You make an excellent point. Go ahead and drop 3.6 from the matrix and we'll get this merged. :)

@etianen nice :)
Just made the change, think it should be enough

Thanks! I'll get this into a release ASAP.
