Describe the improvement

Missing documentation

Description of the improvement / report

I'm learning the API and stumbled upon the iterator functions provided by $$() (ChainablePromiseArray). I wondered what the difference between map() and mapSeries() were, but did not find any usable information in the Documentation. Neither a search in the WebdriverIO API documentation nor the type definitions (node_modules/webdriverio/build/types.d.ts) held any information. I had to look at the implementation to find the documentation strings: https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/blob/main/packages/wdio-utils/src/pIteration.ts#L31

I suggest that there should be a dedicated Section about the AsyncIterators and that the doc comments are also added to the type definition files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the source of AsyncIterator functions in the webdriverio package, extract the existing doc comments from the implementation, and create a new documentation section explaining the difference between map() and mapSeries(). Also add the doc comments to the type definition files.
