tests/_client.lua: Use LGI's Async facilities

Normally, writing asynchronous code with Gio results in a mess of
spaghetti codes because of the many callbacks that are needed. To
improve upon this, LGI provides some coroutine-based magic to improve
readability.

This commit makes the code in _client.lua use this.
