Fix: uDV initialValue suspends without switching to final

Fixes a bug in the experimental `initialValue` option for
`useDeferredValue` (added in facebook#27500).

If rendering the `initialValue` causes the tree to suspend, React should
skip it and switch to rendering the final value instead. It should not
wait for `initialValue` to resolve.

This is not just an optimization, because in some cases the initial
value may _never_ resolve — intentionally. For example, if the
application does not provide an instant fallback state. This capability
is, in fact, the primary motivation for the `initialValue` API.

I mostly implemented this correctly in the original PR, but I missed
some cases where it wasn't working:

- If there's no Suspense boundary between the `useDeferredValue` hook
and the component that suspends, and we're not in the shell of the
transition (i.e. there's a parent Suspense boundary wrapping the
`useDeferredValue` hook), the deferred task would get
incorrectly dropped.
- Similarly, if there's no Suspense boundary between the
`useDeferredValue` hook and the component that suspends, and we're
rendering a synchronous update, the deferred task would get incorrectly
dropped.

What these cases have in common is that it causes the `useDeferredValue`
hook itself to be replaced by a Suspense fallback. The fix was the same
for both. (It already worked in cases where there's no Suspense
fallback at all, because those are handled differently, at the root.)

The way I discovered this was when investigating a particular bug in
Next.js that would happen during a 'popstate' transition (back/forward),
but not during a regular navigation. That's because we render popstate
transitions synchronously to preserve browser's scroll position — which
in this case triggered the second scenario above.
