Add jsi support for newer react native versions(old-arch)

[prathameshmm02]

Fixes #1833.

Convert WMDB JSI Module to NativeModule which removes the need of overriding getJSIModulePackage.

This works for bare react native apps with versions 0.74-0.76 and Expo 51 as of now and does not work with Expo 52, bc of autolinking issues, I am looking into that.

@prathameshmm02 Excellent work. I will need to test it in more detail before I can merge it into mainline, but if this approach works, it clearly seems like it would cause fewer installation troubles.

Is this something that other JSI libraries did as well recently?

Have you tested on relatively old RN versions? I believe the reason why I took the JSIModule approach originally instead of the one you took is that native modules were ran on the wrong thread and the whole thing would crash.

Yeah, react-native-mmkv, reanimated & vision camera all had this approach, as they all use JSI on old arch.

No, just 74 and 76 as of now, it should work (probably) though.

@ReactMethod(isBlockingSynchronousMethod = true) this makes it work as it's synchronous.

Also, it would be better if installation with Expo 52 with new autolinking would be fixed, as there are a lot of WatermelonDB users using Expo (including me). The issue with autolinking is that android & ios folders of the project are in native folder, though, in my testing this has only caused issues on android, ios works fine.
