Description
## 🚀 Feature
LitAPI can automatically identify if the function is a coroutine and run accordingly.
```py
class MyAPI(ls.LitAPI):
def predict(self, x):
return y
async def encode_response(self, out):
return {"output": out}
```

Research direction
Start at the LitAPI request-dispatch entry point and inspect how methods are currently invoked. Confirm how coroutine detection should support the shown sync predict and async encode_response combination, then add coverage for mixed async and non-async methods and verify both paths complete correctly.
