feat: move notifying observers to event dispatcher (#44474)

Summary:
Based on the discussion starting here: https://discord.com/channels/514829729862516747/1073566663825432587/1237407161991172157, I suggest moving the call to `_notifyEventDispatcherObserversOfEvent_DEPRECATED` straight to `RCTEventDispatcher.mm`. It was previously in `RCTInstance.mm` which is only relevant on bridgeless mode. We want to mimic the behavior of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/06eea61c19cd730cf0c14a436f042d30791c3f4a/packages/react-native/React/Fabric/Mounting/ComponentViews/ScrollView/RCTScrollViewComponentView.mm#L75-L78 but without using `currentBridge` since it is considered bad practice: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/5497#issuecomment-2083400038.

Test Plan:
See that example with `stickyHeaders` still works correctly on both bridgeless and bridge mode.

Videos with it on https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/deee037c62a7d62a349d34db427b14d3560ddf83/packages/rn-tester/js/examples/FlatList/FlatList-stickyHeaders.js example with more items for visibility:
