Summary:
The current implementation of `AccessibilityInfo.announceForAccessibility` will immediately interrupt any existing in progress speech with the announcement. Sometimes this is desirable behaviour, but often you will want to wait until existing speech is finished before reading the new announcement. This change gives us that option.
My personal use case for this feature is a custom text input. When typing on iOS with voiceover enabled, each character is read out after being selected. I wanted to add some additional information after each character to help with the context of what has changed in the input, but I didn't want to override the reading of the character itself.
This feature is supported natively on iOS by constructing an `NSAttributedString` with the property [`accessibilitySpeechQueueAnnouncement`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsattributedstring/key/2865770-accessibilityspeechqueueannounce), so this change just adds an extra parameter to `AccessibilityInfo.announceForAccessibility` which controls the value of that property on the native side. Adding this as an extra optional parameter with false as the default ensures that existing uses of the function won't be affected.
Unfortunately, this feature doesn't appear to be supported on Android, so the new second property will be iOS only.
## Changelog
[iOS] [Added] - add new argument to announceForAccessibility to allow queueing on iOS
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/32637
Test Plan:
I've updated the `announceForAccessibility` section in RNTester with multiple buttons to demonstrate the difference between `queue: false` (default) and `queue: true` and show they work as intended.
Here's the expectation for each button:
- "Announce for Accessibility Immediately": on press, should start reading the button label, then be interrupted by the announcement
- "Announce for Accessibility Queued": on press, should read the button label then read the announcement afterwards
- "Announce for Accessibility Queue Multiple": on press, should read the button label, then read three announcements sequentially, no interruptions
You can see the realisation of those expectations in the following video recorded on an iPhone 12 running iOS 15.0.2:

I've also tested the same way on an iPhone 8 running iOS 13.4 and it works exactly the same.

ax team is building a tool to extract information about the views for design reviewers, and RN has some AX information that is not working atm because of dependency on whether voiceover is on or not. so, this will give them the ability to programmatically set that field and hopefully be able to get accurate ax info

Summary:
All NativeModules that use the bridge to require the eventDispatcher are now instead using the RCTModuleRegistry I introduced in D25412847 (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/0ed81b28d3d786ea3b1cf0b932a008ef1f806ec4).
## What does this codemod do?
For all ObjC files that contain `synthesize bridge = _bridge`, migrate calls that access the React Native bridge from `self`, and use it to load the event dispatcher.
**Thoughts on Codemod Safety:** If we can access the bridge from self, then that means that if we synthesize the module registry, we can access the module registry from self. Therefore, this codemod is safe.

Summary:
This diff ended up being a bit more complicated than I anticipated, since the source files in `ReactInternal` were depending on `RCTEventDispatcher`. I made the following changes:
1. Make `RCTEventDispatcher` a `protocol`, keep it in `ReactInternal`.
2. Rename the `RCTEventDispatcher` NativeModule to `RCTEventDispatcherModule`, make it conform to the `RCTEventEmitter` `protocol`, and move it to `CoreModules`.
3. Where necessary, replace categories of `RCTEventDispatcher` with functions.

Summary:
A very common pattern I've seen in RN codebase:
- (instancetype) init {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self ...]
}
- (void) dealloc {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self ...]
}
From Apple:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsnotificationcenter/1413994-removeobserver?language=objc
> If your app targets iOS 9.0 and later or macOS 10.11 and later, you don't need to unregister an observer in its dealloc method.
RN targets iOS9+

Summary:
## Motivation
The concept behind JSCallInvoker doesn't necessarily have to apply only to the JS thread. On Android, we need to re-use this abstraction to allow execution of async method calls on the NativeModules thread.
