Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As far as I see it, the generator generates a simple GET fetch, even if the specified response in the spec looks like

responses:
        "200":
          description: Connection established for streaming updates.
          content:
            text/event-stream:
              schema: ...

Describe the solution you'd like

The Generator should generate a stream client endpoint that can be used like the spec in this MDN doc
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API/Using_readable_streams

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can write own endpoints but that's kind of not the point of having everything generated

Research direction

Read the linked MDN Streams API example, then inspect how the TypeScript fetch generator handles responses with a text/event-stream content type. Done means the generator emits a stream client endpoint for the OpenAPI response instead of a simple GET result.
