Summary:
The RN OSS release process includes manual testing that a new template app can be started under various platforms, JS engines, etc. This should ideally be automated, to help reduce wasted engineer-time, and to allow reliably increasing release velocity.
`react-native-windows` does already have tests to create and build template projects across our matrix, but they do not do any runtime validation on the newly created app. Adding a `testID` to the new app screen header gives us something to search for in black-box testing to validate that the app started successfully. This should help catch cases where a sample project in repo has changes not reflected in a newly created template app.

[Internal] [Added] - Add testID to NewAppScreen Header Component
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31652
Test Plan: Did not manually validate the change, though did check that `ImageBackground` forwards props to `Image`, and that `Image` is aware of `testID` and will forward to the native component.

ES Modules implicitly enable strict mode. Adding the "use strict" directive is, therefore, not required.
This diff removes all "use strict" directives from ES modules.

This PR moves Hermes badge component from the template to the `NewAppScreen` library. The main motivation behind this change was to simplify a bit template code.
I assumed that it is not important to expose `global.HermesInternal` to the template users:
* If this assumption is true, I think that there are no other reason to leave this component inside `App` in comparison to other `NewAppScreen` components,
* If this assumption is false, I can adjust this PR and move `HermesInternal` check from the badge component to the `App`.
I was trying to avoid calling `useColorScheme` when Hermes is disabled, but placing hook inside the conditional branch causes ESLint warning (react-hooks/rules-of-hooks).
This PR includes also small style tweaks for the badge - since there are no background padding can be omitted and spacing can be added adjusted tweaking `top` and `left` properties and `fontSize` has been adjusted just for the readability.
In the last commit, I have gone a bit further and moved `HermesBadge` to the `Header` component and I have also changed slightly the `Header` title (React -> React Native) and it's styling.
> I'm not sure if after this change `HermesBadge` export in `NewAppScreen` components list is still required, but maybe this badge will be useful for someone. If it's a mistake I can update the PR and remove this export.

Summary:
This PR adds support for the dark mode and dynamic theme changing to the default App template and to the related `NewAppScreen` components. Using `useColorScheme` hook forced me to refactor a bit main `App.js` file, but I think those changes are step in the right direction according to way in which React Native is used in larger apps, so new `Section` component has been extracted to reduce code redundancy/repetition inside `App`.
Additional color `darker` has been added to the `Colors` statics from `NewAppScreen` because `dark` was too bright for the Dark Mode backgrounds.
Also main `StoryBoard` on iOS has been updated to use theme based colors instead of static or hardcoded ones. There was also an unused, empty `Label` which I have removed.
~~I'm not so much experienced with Android. If someone could also update Android splash screen (if Android requires such change) it will be nice. I want to look at this later using simulator.~~
> I have updated the Android splash screen and tested this change on the Android emulator.
If you have any comment or corrections feel free to post them out, I would like to put more work into this PR if it's needed. Dark Mode this days is a part of near every OS, so it could be considered as a standard feature. I hope those changes helps people which struggle with the basic theming implementation (+ there is now an example of hook and `children` prop usage in the template).

Need to add explicit type annotations in these areas to unblock types-first architecture for Flow. These are locations the codemod could not automatically handle.

Summary:
Related to #24760 and #24737
This simplifies some styling within the components used for the New App Screen to help advocate for best practices when styling with CSS-like styles in React Native, as well as using React Native's own unique components.

> This is the pull request for the new intro screen proposal in react native as directed by cpojer
This PR was created because the previous one could not be pushed to for some reason. I cleaned up a few small things and added the component as an example to RNTester so we can keep iterating. My plan is to land this, and then polish it and make it the default in a follow-up.
[General][Added] - New Intro screen, Icons
Removed Lottie Integration
