[Feature]: Extend timer mocks to cover node:timers/promises #16392
Description
🚀 Feature Proposal
Extend Jest's timer mocks (API docs) to cover Node.js's Timers Promises API.
Motivation
Jest's timer mocks (API docs) cover a large number of timer-related functions, but they don't cover Node.js's newer Timers Promises API. It would be great if those could be included as well.
Example
import * as tsp from 'node:timers/promises';
jest.useFakeTimers();
await tsp.setTimeout(1000);Pitch
Currently, some code under test can do what seems like a harmless refactor from global setTimeout to node:timers/promises setTimeout and suddenly find itself no longer covered by Jest's timer mocks. And the source of the shortfall is much less obvious than when the tests are calling jest.mock or jest.spyOn themselves.
