Support paho.mqtt > 2.1.x

[espenairmine]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are currently developing a solution were we need to bridge from IoThub to a local mqtt broker, and would like to use aiomqtt to connect to the local mqtth broker (https://pypi.org/project/aiomqtt/)

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for paho.mqtt >2.1.x in azure-iot-device:
azure-iot-device 2.14.0 requires paho-mqtt<2.0.0,>=1.6.1, but you have paho-mqtt 2.1.0 which is incompatible.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We can port the other code we have to paho 1.6.x, but aiomqtt provide a nice and clean (and simpler) approach

Hi Espen Øverbye (@espenairmine),

At this time we are not making any changes to this codebase unless they are stability or security related. Are you seeing any issues in Paho v1.6.1?

Hi, can you please prioritize this upgrade ?
From now Home assistant requires paho-mqtt >= 2.0, so all the HA integrations which rely on the library to access Azure cloud data (and there are many) are broken
As an example : KaSroka/Toshiba-AC-control#65, h4de5/home-assistant-toshiba_ac#220

Thank you
