Up front - this isn't a super impactful PR. I was building out some scripting against Mythic and did an audit of imports and asyncio got flagged as extraneous & potentially risky due to it being functionally obsolete. Keeping asyncio is a no-op, but it's entirely unneeded at this point AFAICT.

This PR drops "asyncio" from install_requires. It's the pre-3.4 stdlib backport, unused on any supported Python. Every asyncio.* call in mythic.py and mythic_utilities.py (TimeoutError, create_task, wait_for) resolves to the stdlib.

The PyPI package went dormant for years, then in Aug 2025 the maintainers republished it as an empty tombstone whose metadata literally says "Do not install this package." No version specifier on the current line means every fresh pip install mythic pulls that empty wheel.

Tested this locally by building a patched wheel, installed into a fresh 3.11 venv (no asyncio in the graph), imported cleanly, and ran a provisioning script against a live Mythic end-to-end. Behavior confirmed identical.
