import name 'CeilTimeout' from 'aiohttp.helpers'

Some users report that the error import name 'CeilTimeout' from 'aiohttp.helpers' happend with recent aiohttp.
And they said that the solution is using old aiohttp (v3.7.0).

However, the problem doesn't occur for me.
Surely, it seems that aiohttp.helpers.CeliTimeout was removed since aiohttp v3.8.0, but other codes of aiohttp were also updated to stop using aiohttp.helpers.CeliTimeout.
aiohttp.helpers.CeliTimeout might inner code of aiohttp and it might have to be called by only from aiohttp.
Twint doesn't call aiohttp.helpers.CeliTimeout directly.

So I think this is a wrong installation problem of users.
Maybe also python -c 'import aiohttp' causes the error.
Try pip install --force-reinstall aiohttp.
In my environment, twint works with also both aiohttp v3.8.0 and v3.8.1.

This was a bug. Fixed in 0c63886.

Solution and following description is from twintproject#1360 (comment) by @tperka.

Just remove aiohttp-socks version limitation in requirements.txt because it is enforced to be old version (0.4.1) while aiohttp package is not so it just tries to use functions which has gotten deleted. Newest version of aiohttp-socks package makes this work again :)
