Deprecate ShadowNode::ListOfWeak and replace with std::vector<std::weak_ptr<const ShadowNode>> (#52401)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #52401

changelog: [internal]

- Mark ShadowNode::ListOfWeak as deprecated with appropriate deprecation message
- Replace all usages of ShadowNode::ListOfWeak with std::vector<std::weak_ptr<const ShadowNode>>
- Updated primitives.h and ReactNativeCPP.api to use the explicit type instead of the alias

This change continues the effort to remove type aliases in favor of explicit standard library types for better code clarity and maintainability.
