pyinotify: patch for python 3.12 support

[sarcasticadmin]

Description of changes

Fixes: #325514

asyncore was removed from the python-3.12 standard library: https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/

Adding backport to 24.05 since its broken there as well (see output below).

This patch was original sourced from: seb-m/pyinotify#205 Its seems like ipynotify is no longer maintained so I'm opting to include the patch here. This is similar to what Arch (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/python-pyinotify/-/commit/df875e727a19fb9e83d2af55cc5f368b94eec705) and Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-inotify/pull-request/4) have done:
