quasar.config file configure callback should support async

[glorat]

What happened?

Using the latest appvite2 whre quasar.config.ts can now be specified in typescript. Per the docs (https://quasar.dev/quasar-cli-vite/quasar-config-file#the-basics) and reality, configure can be made an async function. However the typescript definitions define

declare module "quasar/wrappers" {
...

  function configure(callback: ConfigureCallback): ConfigureCallback;

As a result, vue-tsc will fail if an async callback is defined

What did you expect to happen?

Compilation should work... the type definition should be updated to something like
declare module "quasar/wrappers" {

  function configure(callback: ConfigureCallback): ConfigureCallback | Promise<ConfigureCallback>;

type ConfigureCallback = (context: QuasarContext) => QuasarConf | Promise<QuasarConf>;

would probably do the trick
