Nick Gerleman 32f54877ff Do not use WindowInsetsCompat for Keyboard Events (#35897)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/35897

Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35894

Android 11 added native support for querying whether the IME is present along with its size, as part of the WindowInsets API. D38500859 (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/1e48274223ee647ac4fc2c21822b5240f3c47e4c) changed our logic for Android keyboard events to use it when available, fixing a longstanding issues where we could not reliably tell where the keyboard was open depending on softInputMode.

An androidx library WindowInsetsCompat aimed to backport some of the functionality to older versions of Android, with the same API, documenting IME queries to work down to API level 23 (Android 6). I used this, so that we would be able to remove our own logic for detecting keyboard insets once we supported 23+.

From an issue report, WindowInsetsCompat is not accurately returning whether the IME is open on at least Android 9. So this change makes it so we only use WindowInsets methods when they are provided by the OS (a tested golden path), and otherwise use the previously working heuristics on anything older.
