Return `AsyncRouteComponent` from `lazyRouteComponent` instead of a `never` conditional

The previous `T[K] extends (props: infer P) => any ? AsyncRouteComponent<P> : never` return type is resolved as `error` by tsgolint (and similar checkers that cannot instantiate that conditional). Named-export inference is unchanged via a default `TProps` type parameter.

Link the approved API issue and maintainer sign-off before merging.

The three exported lazyRouteComponent signatures change from conditional return types to AsyncRouteComponent<TProps>. The repository convention requires an approved issue and maintainer sign-off before implementing API changes.
