fix: do not block entire program with sleep

with time.sleep(), the entire program is stopped, which yield very bad performance for server handling concurrent requests.

Introducing new async init method for creating Step and Message with asyncio.sleep so that the async loop will give back the control to the program while waiting for sleep.

Let me know what is your thought and I help to replace existing usage with the new one.

Why is this sleep statement there in the first place? @willydouhard

I don't see where this init() is called, here or anywhere. Could you please explain why this is here?

Also note the type error raised by mypy.

@dokterbob , as mentioned, if sleep is needed then we will need to initiate all Message or Step with init, which will be lots of changes. May I confirm on your side that sleep is absolutely needed before making a big change?

I don't know why the sleep statement is here. Perhaps @willydouhard does?

I am asking about init() because you add this code to this PR and it does not seem to be called anywhere. I'd like to avoid dead code as much as possible.
