Update react native to 0.73.4

[matamegger]

Description

To unblock player updates we need to upgrade the react native version. The react native version update also comes with required upgrades of the tooling e.g. jdk, node updates.

Changes

• Update GH workflows to set up the according jdk, node and xcode version
• Update to react native 0.73.4 as well as to 0.73.4-0 of the tvos fork
• Remove flipper integration (not needed by us, and there has been a change in the framework setup)
• Refactored java app entry points to kotlin (applied from the official template)
• Updated the gradle setup as well as the build, compile, target and ndk version
• Removed boost "jfrog" workaround
• example: Updated react native navigation, orientation locker, safe are context, native screens, system navigation bar
• example: fixed (now facing) type issues
• Adjusted the ios project setup in alignment with the changes in react native upgrade helper tool

Checklist

• 🗒 CHANGELOG entry

Very nice 👍

I will keep updating this comment as this will take some time 😅

Integration tests: done, passed ✅

Manual testing: done, 1 out of 2 issues fixed ⚠️

1. Programmatic track selection on iOS: layout is broken, options on the bottom are squished -> Found that the styling is not working anymore and the track list gets squashed to 0 height. I have local changes to fix the layout. ✅ Fixed in 4800a6b
2. Landscape Fullscreen Handling on Android and iOS has the wrong initial state. It goes full screen but portrait mode. On iOS then it gets stuck as landscape, even staying like that for the list screen.

Code review: done ✅ (minor question only)

The changes look good 👍
Manual testing for Android looks good apart from the offline feature, where RuntimeException is thrown when trying to start the download:

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Starting FGS with type dataSync callerApp=ProcessRecord{f884966 14500:com.bitmovin.player.reactnative.example/u0a326} targetSDK=34 requires permissions: all of the permissions allOf=true [android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC]

This is unrelated to the changes in this PR but should be very easy to fix (just adding the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC permission in the example manifest). Could you take care of this?

2. Landscape Fullscreen Handling on Android and iOS has the wrong initial state. It goes full screen but portrait mode. On iOS then it gets stuck as landscape, even staying like that for the list screen.

This seems to be the case before this PR already. Not going to fix this within this PR.
