## Summary

In `appDir`, currerntly `generateStaticParams` must be an `async`
function, even if no data fetching or asynchronous operations are
involved. For example, with this

```ts
// app/[slug]/page.tsx
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  return [{ slug: "Hello" }];
}
```

if I remove the `async` keyword, `next build` type checking will fail
with a rather unclear error message

```
Type error: Page "app/[slug]/page.tsx" does not match the required types of a Next.js Page.
```

However `next dev` still works fine, and after applying the type change
in this PR, `next build` and `next start` will also work fine.

Considering that `getStaticPaths` can be synchronous, this requirement
of `async` is pretty confusing. Many people have reported this type
error for not marking `generateStaticParams` as `async` (me included).

This PR lifts the restriction and allows `generateStaticParams` to be
synchronous. (If it's intentional that `generateStaticParams` must be
asynchronous, feel free to close this PR, but I don't think that
restriction is a good idea...)

Since I cannot find any test cases on the type checking process, I'm a
bit unsure in how to write a test case for this... or if a test case is
even necessary at all.
