feat(async): add uvicorn, asgi, upgrade django=4.1

[sun337]

Why was this change necessary?

Current version of django(3.2) doesn't support async tasks.

How does it address the problem?

After upgrading to django>4.1 and running asgi server, the application can run tasks asynchronously.

Are there any side effects?

Uvicorn config --limit-concurrency is not yet supported when running with Gunicorn.

Need to test provisioner scripts before merging

and checkout that the nginx settings are in place for uvicorn proxy pass.

The provisioner scripts aren't tested yet. Also I'm thinking to update python to 3.11 in the same PR, thoughts?

[CuriousLearner]

The only thing (and the most critical one) needs to be tested with upgraded Python version is that the uwsgi plugin that is compiled through ansible on configuration task works.

I don't think it should have any other impact.

Hey @sun337

When you've time, can you pick this up and test to see if this is working fine?
