pybricks.tools.wait: Fix awaiting on wait(0).

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -28,9 +28,11 @@
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed not able to connect to new Technic Move hub with `LWP3Device()`.
 - Removed `gc_collect()` from `tools.run_task()` loop to fix unwanted delays.
+- Fixed `await wait(0)` never yielding, so parallel tasks could lock up ([support#1429]).
