Description
Describe the problem
Some DOM APIs use this and not having it defined leads to type errors.
For reference see e.g. this issue:
Type checking issues like this could be preempted by adding the library alongside DOM.Iterable.
Describe the proposed solution
Change the generated TS config's lib default to include DOM.AsyncIterable.

Research direction
Start by locating the generated TypeScript configuration and the default lib setting, then compare it with the existing DOM.Iterable entry. Update the default to include DOM.AsyncIterable and verify that the generated configuration contains both libraries and prevents the referenced DOM API type errors.
