Description

Add async alternatives to all sync methods. This will make pygdbmi more efficient because it will be event-based, not polling based.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing sync methods in pygdbmi and identify which ones can be made async. Study asyncio patterns for subprocess management and consider using asyncio.create subprocess exec for async GDB interaction.
