Closes #8196

The type of on:event on components is still function only, though it works with the object handler. Not sure where to fix it.

In the following case, it can be considered kind of a breaking change:

const props: HTMLAttributes = $props();
// later
props.onclick(); // will error when `onclick` is an object handler

someFnAcceptingCallback(props.onclick); // same problem

and any other place where the event handler is expected to be function only.

Also, the handler object seems to never get hoisted.

Is this worth adding? It seems like it's a non-zero amount of complexity and overhead for a basically useless feature, but if there's a legitimate use for handleEvent objects I suppose it could make sense to match the DOM spec

I've been using this feature for a little while and have found it quite useful. Here's the article through which I found out about it, it's pretty interesting
