Simplify new app template for bridgeless (#40929)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #40929

This diff reduces the footprint that bridgeless is imposing on the new app template. Specifically:
- I've created a `.toReactHost` method that converts a DefaultReactNativeHost to a DefaultReactHost
- I've updated RN Tester to use the same setup as the New App template which reduces code duplication.

I also had to remove a couple of `UnstableReactNativeAPI` as those were bleeding in the new app template.
I don't think we should ask users to opt-in in `UnstableReactNativeAPI` in the New App template itself as
this means that all the apps will get this opt-in.
Instead we should keep it only for specific APIs that we want the users to opt into.

Changelog:
[Internal] [Changed] - Simplify new app template for bridgeless
