PR #898 added support for ipykernel 7 on the basis that it was going to include the switch from tornado/asyncio to anyio. That switch is no longer going to occur in ipykernel 7, so some of the changes made for it are no longer needed. Ipykernel 7 is now much closer to 6, the significant changes being experimental support for subshells (which do not have to be used) and use of a separate thread to manage the receipt and sending of shell channel messages.

Here I have just removed the changes made in #898 that version checked ipykernel >= 7. With this the tests pass for me locally on macOS using ipykernel main branch.

Thanks. I'll re-enable the downstream tests in ipykernel that I temporarily disabled to confirm that they are OK now.
