This function allows to retrieve the current web request in async
contexts.
Retrieving the current context can be useful for example when
customizing Enterprise Gateway RemoteProcessProxy, to retrieve
authentication headers.
The implementation makes uses of Python 3.7's new contextvars module.
There are backports efforts for 3.6:
https://pypi.org/project/aiocontextvars/ - does not have automatic
asyncio support
https://pypi.org/project/contextvars/ - which doesn't have it either.
The tracking issue on this matter has been stale for 3 years now, and
the conclusion of the discussion is "upgrade to a newer version of
Python": asyncio support MagicStack/contextvars#2
Since notebook has no control on the event loop it is running into, I
preferred to drop Python 3.6 support.
