Description

We're slowly moving our code base over to async views and tests. Django 5.0 is a big leap forward for this, but we've found that there's still no async version of the @login_required decorator.

We're working around it with some funky decorator usage:

@sync_to_async
@login_required
@async_to_sync
async def our_view(request):

Buuuut, it'd be great not to need to do all this and to either have an async version of login_required (@alogin_required, perhaps?) or for it to just work with async views.

I don't think there's an open issue for this, but amusingly, in a comment 11 months ago, Carlton Gibson touched on making login_required work with async, but he thought it'd take another five years. Perhaps we can do better. :)

OK, I have achieved a simple demo, I think I can work on this ticket. I'll improve my code further, then submit a PR as soon as possible.
