Jon Koops a7a14b78c1 chore: add DOM.AsyncIterable lib and use standard filesystem types
Add `DOM.AsyncIterable` to the shared TypeScript configuration in
`@backstage/cli`, making standard async iteration methods available on
DOM APIs like `FileSystemDirectoryHandle`. This aligns behavior with
TypeScript 6.0, where this lib is included in `DOM` by default.

With the async iterable types now available, replace the custom
`IterableDirectoryHandle` and `WritableFileHandle` types in the scaffolder
plugin with the standard `FileSystemDirectoryHandle` and
`FileSystemFileHandle` DOM types. Add type guard functions for
`FileSystemHandle` since it is not a discriminated union.

@backstage/cli

This package provides a CLI for developing Backstage plugins and apps.

Installation

Install the package via Yarn:

yarn add @backstage/cli

Development

For local development the cli can be used directly, even from other packages in this repo. The bin/backstage-cli entrypoint contains a switch that will load the implementation from the src directory when executed inside this repo.

To run the cli in watch mode, use yarn start <args>. For example yarn start lint --help.

To try out the command locally, you can execute the following from the parent directory of this repo:

./backstage/packages/cli/bin/backstage-cli --help
