fix: OpenFGA SDK doesn't seem to support async_req parameter

[Abishek-Newar]

Description

What problem is being solved?

The async_req parameter exists in the lower-level api_client.py to enable threading-based asynchronous requests using Python's ThreadPool. However, this parameter is not exposed through the public OpenFgaClient API because the options_to_kwargs function doesn't support it, making it inaccessible without using internal APIs.

How is it being solved?

Updated the options_to_kwargs function to pass through the async_req parameter from user options to the underlying API calls.

What changes are made to solve it?

• Added async_req parameter support in openfga_sdk/sync/client/client.py (sync client)

After this change, users can use async_req like this:

result = client.list_stores(options={"async_req": True})

References

closes #194

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for asynchronous request handling in API client operations. Users can now pass async request preferences through configuration options to enable non-blocking API calls.

Walkthrough

Adds support for passing the async_req parameter through the options mapping in both sync and async client implementations, allowing users to control async request behavior via the public API instead of internal APIs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Async Request Parameter Support openfga_sdk/client/client.py, openfga_sdk/sync/client/client.py	Extends options_to_kwargs function to propagate async_req from options dictionary to kwargs, enabling async request signaling through public API calls. Identical change applied to both client implementations.

In `@openfga_sdk/client/client.py`:
- Around line 123-124: Reject the async_req option in the async client path:
locate the code that checks options.get("async_req") and currently sets
kwargs["async_req"], and change it to raise a clear ValueError (or TypeError)
when options["async_req"] is not None, explaining that async_req is incompatible
with the async client (it triggers self.pool.apply_async and returns a
non-awaitable). Ensure the error message references async_req and the async
client so callers get an explicit, actionable failure instead of a silent
runtime error.

I see that it initially was added to the async client too

Please update the PR description - Remove the line about async client changes since you've already removed that code

You checked "I have added tests" but there are currently no test files are in the diff
