some way to skip replacing mock with unittest.mock
when you're using python 3.6 or 3.7 `unittest.mock.AsyncMock` is unavailable, but `mock.AsyncMock` is available if you're using the latest backport

there should be some way to skip replacing `mock` with `unittest.mock`, or the fixer should be moved to `--py38-plus` and then to a later `--py...-plus` as and when `unittest.mock` gains features
