[$250] Bump the react-native-pager-view to remove patch

[mountiny]

Problem

Expensify currently uses react-native-pager-view version 6.5.1 with a patch for it.

Solution

Upgrade react-native-pager-view to version 6.6.1 and remove patch as fixes were merged upstream.
Version 6.6.1 also allows us to remove useNext={shouldUseNewPager()} platform specific code as useNext prop was removed.

Hey @mountiny while testing changes I found regression on android on the latest version. Can we put this issue on hold and after I fix it upstream we will go with merging it?

[mountiny]

@MrRefactor Do you have an issue created upstream so I can link it to something specific?

Created a draft PR with changes, I will bump the version to 6.6.2 as soon as I fix the issue upstream and release a new version

[mountiny]

@MrRefactor should we go ahead and test the PR with the patch or should we wait?
