Asyncio error while running job on simulator

[TimVroomans]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Calling QIProvider().get_backend("QX emulator").run(circuit), where circuit is a Qiskit QuantumCircuit caused, raised RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop

To Reproduce

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit_quantuminspire.qi_provider import QIProvider

# Define a circuit
circuit = QuantumCircuit(1, 1)
circuit.measure(0, 0)

# Submit to simulator
provider = QIProvider()
simulator_backend = provider.get_backend("QX emulator")
job = simulator_backend.run(circuit)

Expected behavior

If using the interface correctly, I expected the job to run and return a bunch of zeroes.
If not using the interface correctly, I expected a clear error message pointing me to my mistake

Screenshots

Operating System (please complete the following information)

• OS: Windows 10
