Suspense is meant to be composable but there has been a lonstanding
limitation with using Suspense above the `<body>` tag of an HTML
document due to peculiarities of how HTML is parsed. For instance if you
used Suspense to render an entire HTML document and had a fallback that
might flush an alternate Document the comment nodes which describe this
boundary scope won't be where they need to be in the DOM for client
React to properly hydrate them. This is somewhat a problem of our own
making in that we have a concept of a Preamble and we leave the closing
body and html tags behind until streaming has completed which produces a
valid HTML document that also matches the DOM structure that would be
parsed from it. However Preambles as a concept are too important to
features like Float to imagine moving away from this model and so we can
either choose to just accept that you cannot use Suspense anywhere
except inside the `<body>` or we can build special support for Suspense
into react-dom that has a coherent semantic with how HTML documents are
written and parsed.
This change implements Suspense support for react-dom/server by
correctly serializing boundaries during rendering, prerendering, and
resumgin on the server. It does not yet support Suspense everywhere on
the client but this will arrive in a subsequent change. In practice
Suspense cannot be used above the `<body>` tag today so this is not a
breaking change since no programs in the wild could be using this
feature anyway.
React's streaming rendering of HTML doesn't lend itself to replacing the
contents of the documentElement, head, or body of a Document. These are
already special cased in fiber as HostSingletons and similarly for Fizz
the values we render for these tags must never be updated by the Fizz
runtime once written. To accomplish these we redefine the Preamble as
the tags that represent these three singletons plus the contents of the
document.head. If you use Suspense above any part of the Preamble then
nothing will be written to the destination until the boundary is no
longer pending. If the boundary completes then the preamble from within
that boudnary will be output. If the boundary postpones or errors then
the preamble from the fallback will be used instead.
Additionally, by default anything that is not part of the preamble is
implicitly in body scope. This leads to the somewhat counterintuitive
consequence that the comment nodes we use to mark the borders of a
Suspense boundary in Fizz can appear INSIDE the preamble that was
rendered within it.
```typescript
render((
<Suspense>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<div>hello world</div>
</body>
</html>
</Suspense>
))
```
will produce an HTML document like this
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<!--$--> <-- this is the comment Node representing the outermost Suspense
<div>hello world</div>
<$--/$-->
</body>
</html>
```
Later when I update Fiber to support Suspense anywhere hydration will
similarly start implicitly in the document body when the root is part of
the preamble (the document or one of it's singletons).

## Summary
In order to adopt react 19's ref-as-prop model, Flow needs to eliminate
all the places where they are treated differently.
`React.AbstractComponent` is the worst example of this, and we need to
eliminate it.
This PR eliminates them from the react repo, and only keeps the one that
has 1 argument of props.
## How did you test this change?
yarn flow
Stacked on #31299.
We already have an option for resolving Client References to other
Client References when consuming an RSC payload on the server.
This lets you resolve Server References on the consuming side when the
environment where you're consuming the RSC payload also has access to
those Server References. Basically they becomes like Client References
for this consumer but for another consumer they wouldn't be.
