New Architecture support

[johnf]

Description

First apologies for the amount of change in this PR. I don't expect it to be accepted at all in it's current form. I'm happy to work on getting it in a saner stated if needed.

I've just started using react-native-owl, so much easier than detox that I was using before.

However I was having issues with screenshots when using the React Native new architecture.

Immersive mode wasn't working.

I started working on supporting the new arch; I ended up basically trying to align everything with react-native-create-library to get it to work (as I use it for another library I work on), hence why there is so much change.

Something I discovered when I was almost done converting to TurboModules, is that on new arch you need to call TurboModuleRegistry.get otherwise the initialize doesn't load.

I've test this on the unreleased monorepo version of react-native-vector icons and it's working well for me.

Not all the tests are working yet, some issues with mocking.

I though I'd open this for feedback before I spent more time on it.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

In theory this should be fully backwards compatible and not breaking.

How Has This Been Tested?

I've tested against react-native-vector-icons, I'll work on the inbuilt test suite next.
