Emily Janzer 81096901a8 Use bridgeless flag instead of specific binding in UIManagerBinding
Summary:
This fix is still a little hypothetical. We have a few different JS errors that we're seeing with bridgeless mode that seem to be caused by Fabric trying to access `__fbBatchedBridge` from C++. I think what's happening is:

1. User encounters an unrelated JS error very early in rendering a new surface (possibly while the bundle is still loading?)
2. In release builds, BridgelessReactFragment handles the error by stopping the surface and rendering a retry button (actually, the surface is stopped in a bunch of places in BaseFbReactFragment, which might be why this is popping up now - I recently refactored that class to share more of its logic in bridgeless mode)
3. Fabric stops the surface by first checking to see if the custom binding `RN$stopSurface` exists; if not, it falls back to calling the registered callable module `ReactFabric`.

I think #3 is where things are going wrong for bridgeless mode; if you call stopSurface before `RN$stopSurface` is installed (which happens when ReactFabric shim is required) then you'll fall back to the bridge version.

My solution here is to instead rely on a flag set in C++ to determine whether we're in bridgeless mode, and then check to see if the stopSurface binding has been installed. If not, we just noop - if the ReactFabric shim hasn't been required, we probably don't actually have a React surface that needs to be stopped.

At least, that's my current theory. We'll see if this actually works.

Changelog: [Fixed][iOS] Fix an issue calling stopSurface in bridgeless mode before surface is started
