React 19 fixes

[stephentuso]

Summary:

Fixes #701
Fixes #695

defaultProps and findDOMNode were removed in React 19.

For findDOMNode: it wasn't actually needed, as the ref is already pointed at the element. I added dom to the TS libs to support the type, but we can use a ts-ignore if you don't want that.

For defaultProps: I moved the values to default parameters in the function component and cleaned up the logic some

Test Plan:

example-web is updated to react 19 and fully working now.

I haven't gotten a chance to test this on native yet

@stephentuso @BartoszKlonowski any update on when this will get merged and released? This is breaking my app currently and since it seems like you all have a solution, I'd rather just wait for you to handle it then to reimplement the slider all together. Appreciate your help, thanks!

@smalhotra3599 if it's just the web version you're having issues with, I'm using this patch based on this PR until they merge it https://gist.github.com/stephentuso/4e1daf6aea8489407138addd4c5ceb5d

I am happy to approve it as soon as the matter of removing arguments of SliderComponent is resolved. Other than that, good PR. I tested it locally for Android and can confirm it also solves the linked issue.
Thanks for handling that! 👍

[BartoszKlonowski]

Thanks for explanations!
Just couple of linter complaints covered, and it's good to go.

Thanks for merging - can this fix please be published to npm?

Will this be published to npm? This would help out a lot.

Dears, @zbarbuto, yes - I plan to release this today, in both v4.5.7 supporting old arch, as well as in default, v5.0.0 supporting new arch only.
Please check the existing pull request and/or releases for more details.
