Summary:
This creates a `debugOptimized` build type for React Native Android, meaning that we can run C++ optimization on the debug build, while still having the debugger enabled. This is aimed at improving the developer experience for folks developing on low-end devices or emulators.
Users that intend to debug can still use the `debug` variant where the full debug symbols are shipped.
## Changelog:
[ANDROID] [ADDED] - Create a debugOptimized buildType for Android
Test Plan:
Tested locally with RNTester by doing:
```
./gradlew installDebugOptimized
```
This is the output of the 3 generated .aar. The size difference is a proof that we're correctly stripping out the C++ debug symbols:

Summary:
When using prebuilts the USE_FRAMEWORKS setting is not really relevant for the React Native code, since there will not be any source code to build frameworks for - and because we already have a framework for the code in React.XCFramework.
This commit adds a new command to the React Native podspecs like we did with the ReactNativeDependencies framework. The method is called `add_rncore_dependency` and it does nothing when building from source - but when linking with the React.XCFramework it explicitly adds linking with the framework.
In addition there are a few places in the ruby code where we check for the USE_FRAMEWORK value and changes some settings - where needed this commit will add a separate check to ensure we're building from source when making these changes.

Summary:
This change fixes an issue on iOS where gradients that fade to a transparent color-stop appear dark or "muddy." The fix ensures that the color's hue is preserved during the transition, matching the behavior on Android and web.
### The Problem
When creating a gradient on iOS (e.g., linear-gradient(red, transparent)), the transparent keyword is treated as transparent black (rgba(0,0,0,0)). The `CAGradientLayer` on iOS then interpolates all color channels linearly, causing the red, green, and blue components of the start color to fade to 0. This transition through black results in an undesirable dark or "muddy" appearance in the middle of the gradient.
## Changelog:
[IOS][FIXED] - Gradient interpolation for transparent colors

- Disable `StatusBar` `backgroundColor` and `translucent` (when `edgeToEdgeEnabled` is set to `true`)
- Enforce `statusBarTranslucent` and `navigationBarTranslucent` on `Modal` when edge-to-edge is enabled
- Add an `isEdgeToEdge` constant to `DeviceInfoModule` for [`react-native-is-edge-to-edge`](https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-edge-to-edge/tree/main/react-native-is-edge-to-edge) detection

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52252
Instead of declaring two different sets of Pods for prebuilt and build from source, this commit now keeps the pod structure the same for both modes so that consuming libraries can expect to have the same pods and header files available - without this, libraries would have to be updated to take advantage of the prebuilds.
This PR does:
- Added React-Core-prebuilt as a pod in React-Core if prebuilt is enabled
- Simplified react_native_pods to keep pods structure and add React-Core-prebuilt pod if prebuilts are enabled
- Added function for selecting source sets based on prebuilt/build from source
To be able to function both in prebuilt and in regular build from source mode, all podspecs are now using the switch function podspec_sources so that they only include header files if we are in prebuild mode.
Also added React-Core-prebuilt as dependency on React-Core if we are in prebuilt mode so that we install the React.XCFramework.
## Changelog:

Summary:
This PR replaces Core Graphics implementation with Core Animation for radial gradients. I found that `endPoints` for radial gradient type works differently than linear gradient type. The `endPoint.x` accounts for horizontal length and `endPoint.y` accounts for vertical. This makes it possible to draw ellipse gradients. So we don't need the core graphics API anymore.

It also adds another delegate event to call onRequestClose whenever modal is closed by gesture.
