Move release flow to `nx release`

[Saadnajmi]

React Native macOS historically did not have one tool to manage it's NPM package versioning and releases, we used a combo of custom scripts inherited from React Native Core, and beachball. This issue tracks updating our release flow to use a single tool to unify our release infrastructure, namely: nx release.

Outstanding issues:

• "NPM Publish Dry Run" CI job fails if a version plan is present #2492

Outstanding upstream issues:

• nx release will always publish NPM packages with tag latest nrwl/nx#30979
  • Workaround : ci: set the npm dist-tag in nx release publish #2484
• nx release will always publish NPM packages with tag latest nrwl/nx#30979
  • Workaround: ci: only publish if there are changes to push #2447
  • Even if this is supported, we probably want to keep the NPM publish separate anyway as we will eventually need to use the ESRP release tool for compliance.
• nx release --dry-run does not test nx release publish with a dry run nrwl/nx#30981
  • More of a nice to have.
