Issue #24400: Resurrect inspect.isawaitable()

collections.abc.Awaitable and collections.abc.Coroutine no longer
use __instancecheck__ hook to detect generator-based coroutines.

inspect.isawaitable() can be used to detect generator-based coroutines
and to distinguish them from regular generator objects.
