Subject: [PATCH] Implement view finding by native id (#49581)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/49581

I need to be able to find a View with a specific nativeId as part of my implementation of accessibility ordered children. This already exists in Android in `ReactFindViewUtil.kt`.

Not much to this implementation. Recursive tree searching. I do not think perf is a big deal here but if we want to optimize this we could implement some nativeId registry and try and get the UIView * from that at the expense of storing that map somewhere.

Changelog: [Internal]
