Subject: [PATCH] Python 3.7 support

Tornado 5.0 compatibility fixes

Allow running pytest>=3.5.0

Run off of a temporary config

use salt.utils.zeromq

add io_loop handling to runtests engine

fix pylint

fix _create_stream and tornado 5.0

This should be the last fix for tornado 5.0

allow using tornado 5.0

Fix last test for tornado

Thank you so much @bdarnell for helping me get this last fix.

With this, the test suite passes with tornado 5.

fix pylint

Rename module to full wording

Fix imports

Fix docstring typo

Fix CLI config

Fix comments

Fix docstrings

Rename async function to asynchronous

Change internal function signatures to avoid reserved word

Remove internal variables/properties with the reserved words

Fix local opts from CLI

Fix log error/info/warning and exception messages

Cleanup docstrings at module level

Fix function signatures in Cassandra module

Lintfix: PEP8 requires two empty lines

Deprecate 'async' parameter in Mandrill API

Revert api call: it is about "functionname_async" suffix.

Add 'async' backward compatibility

Update docstring

Use kwargs instead of directly named parameters

Support original API

Fix nag-message

Keep runner API unchanged

fix unicode literals

Remove async keyword, moving it into the kwargs.

Fix configuration setting
