A SwiftUI Button that can perform asyncronous tasks.
import SwiftUI
/// A control that initiates an action asyncronously.
///
/// You create a button by providing an action and a label.
/// The action is either a method or closure property that
/// does something when a user clicks or taps the button.
/// The label is a view that describes the button’s action —
/// for example, by showing text, an icon, or both:
///
/// ```swift
/// AsyncButton(action: signIn) {
/// Text("Sign In")
/// }
/// ```
///
/// For the common case of text-only labels, you can use
/// the convenience initializer that takes a title string or
/// LocalizedStringKey as its first parameter, instead of
/// a trailing closure:
///
/// ```swift
/// AsyncButton("Sign In", action: signIn)
/// ```
///
/// How the user activates the button varies by platform:
/// - In iOS and watchOS, the user taps the button.
/// - In macOS, the user clicks the button.
/// - In tvOS, the user presses “select” on an external remote,
/// like the Siri Remote, while focusing on the button.
///
/// The appearance of the button depends on factors like
/// where you place it, whether you assign it a role, and
/// how you style it.

/// that displays a custom label.
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - role: An optional semantic role that describes
/// the button. A value of nil means that the button
/// doesn’t have an assigned role.
/// - action: The action to perform when the user
/// interacts with the button.
/// - label: A view that describes the purpose of
/// the button’s action.
