Doesn't work with Python 3.9+

Hi!

While trying to run o365spray, following bit crashes:

PS C:\o365spray> py .\o365spray.py --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\data\tools\__Azure\o365spray\o365spray.py", line 4, in <module>

    loop: asyncio.base_events._UnixSelectorEventLoop,
AttributeError: module 'asyncio.base_events' has no attribute '_UnixSelectorEventLoop'

Could you please look into this?

@mgeeky Faced the same issue on Windows, switched to MacOs and it worked!!

@mgeeky Sorry for the delay on this - This is due to Python's asyncio library using a different event loop type on Windows. Instead of asyncio.unix_events._UnixSelectorEventLoop, it uses asyncio.windows_events.ProactorEventLoop.

I am working on a fix for this as well as several updates.

As a temporary fix, you can locally remove or replace the typing for the loop object being passed to both the Enumerator and Sprayer classes:
enumerator.py#L45
sprayer.py#L45

As a side note, the colorized output is currently targeting non-Windows systems, so if run on Windows the output will be slightly broken. Getting that fixed as well

This should now be fixed in the 'dev' branch
