Description
AsyncHTTPClient is a new HTTP client library for Swift built on SwiftNIO. This library utilizes non-blocking IO which makes it ideal for use Swift servers.
From what I can tell OpenAPI Generator currently supports generating Swift 5 clients based on URLSession, Alamofire, and RxSwift. It would be great if we could add support for AsyncHTTPClient so that servers could generate non-blocking clients to interact with OpenAPI-compatible APIs.

Research direction
Review the existing Swift client generators for URLSession, Alamofire, and RxSwift, then read the AsyncHTTPClient and SwiftNIO documentation. Determine how generator configuration and templates are organized for those clients. Done means OpenAPI Generator can produce a working non-blocking Swift client using AsyncHTTPClient, with appropriate coverage alongside existing Swift clients.
