Restore base config merge in metro-config (#38092)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/38092

Reverts https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/36777.

This is motivated by reducing user friction when the widespread assumption is for `react-native/metro-config` to export a complete Metro config, as with Expo/rnx-kit, and like previously understood uses of `metro-config`. See https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/1010#issuecomment-1609215165 for further notes.

Fixes:
- https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/1010
- https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/38069
- https://github.com/kristerkari/react-native-svg-transformer/issues/276

Note that we do not intend for `react-native/metro-config` to directly export `assetExts` etc — these can be accessed on the `resolver` property from the full config object.

Changelog: [General][Changed] `react-native/metro-config` now includes all base config values from `metro-config`
