ansible: mail integration tests uses the asyncore module which has been removed in Python 3.11

[vstinner]

Summary

The ansible_collections/community/general/tests/integration/targets/mail/files/smtpserver.py uses import asyncore whereas this module has been removed in Python 3.11, after being deprecated since Python 3.6.

One option is to copy Python 3.10 asyncore.py file in ansible test suite. Another is that someone should maintain an asyncore module on PyPI.
