[RN][CI] add React Native release publishing flow

[kieran-osgood-shopify]

What?

• Adds React Native to workflow_dispatch for releases
  • Performs validation on the semver tag compared to package json
  • Creates a react-native/X.Y.Z tag
  • Builds and Publishes that tag
• Updates the RN podspec source tag to use the react-native/ namespace.
• Changed workflow dispatch to avoid confusion between draft and dry-run settings
  Theres some scripts added to give us the ability to test tarbals of the release build against expo and react-native community cli installs, as well as with npm / yarn / bun / pnpm.

Before	After

I also fixed some output on the release plan

Other

In order to produce react-native 4.0.0-alpha.1 I needed to update podspec and gradle to point to the swift/android 4.0.0-alpha.1 versions published last week

We have this awkward process for gradle, where the android sdk has to build and publish to mavenLocal for local dev, this is gated behind the USE_LOCAL_SDK flag

This could fail silently if mavenLocal didn't have a 4.0.0-alpha.1 version, so I added an exclusiveContent filter which ensures the checkout-kit library, when the USE_LOCAL_SDK flag is true, will fail to build, ensuring we don't accidentally false positive test against a published SDK in maven.

 if (useLocalSdk) {
    exclusiveContent {
      forRepository {
        mavenLocal()
      }
      filter {
        includeModule("com.shopify", "checkout-kit")
      }
    }
  }
