Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/39429
Using `require` after `const registerFn = require('babel/register')` but before `registerFn(config)` causes Babel to transform required code with the default configuration (ie, using a nearby `babel.config.js`, if available).
This was causing the Babel plugins loaded by `metro-babel-register` to be (unnecessarily) transformed according to `babel.config.js`, which actually fails if the plugins/presets referenced in `babel.config.js` themselves require transformation.
This ensures no code is loaded in between registering Babel as a side effect of requiring Babel register, and replacing that hook with something explicitly configured.
## React Native
