chore: update repo to RN 0.86

[mfkrause]

Updates the plugin and example app from React Native 0.83.2 to 0.86.0 (and the example app from Expo SDK 55 to SDK 57).

Full test suite is green for now, but currently, this effectively breaks support for React Native < 0.85 in an <Image> optimizer edge case. The wrapper component's header behavior changed in RN 0.85. With the changes from this PR, the native host component won't send headers to remote image sources anymore on these older versions.

To fix this, we either...

1. need to detect the React Native version during build time (similar to Unistyles, which is only best-effort)
2. add explicit exceptions to the parity test cases (keeping the behavior from RN < 0.85 is technically fine for RN >= 0.85, but makes some test cases red)
3. make this a breaking change and explicitly make react-native-boost@^2 only support RN >= 0.85
