Issue Description:

When annotating a type with @main without providing an appropriate method to run, the compiler emits the following error:

'Type' is annotated with @main and must provide a main static function of type () -> Void or () throws -> Void.

But actually, it’s now also valid to add async there. This would help discoverability of this feature. Although I’m not sure adding all four possible combinations of nothing/throws/async is the best thing to do here.

To reproduce, compile this code:

@main struct Main {}

I’m using Xcode 13.2 with Swift 5.5.2.
