[PATCH] Use default asyncio event loop implementation in child processes

Use the default asyncio event loop implementation in child
processes, instead of portage's internal EventLoop. After
fork, instantiate a new asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy as
a workaround for https://bugs.python.org/issue22087, which
is necessary for RetryTestCase to succeed.

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/758740
