Use FormData submitter parameter

[jenseng]

Summary

Fixes #29018

Rather than continuing to maintain/fix a partial polyfill (e.g. #28056), just pass the submitter to the FormData constructor, since it is now widely available. This ensures that the form data is populated consistently with a native form submission, and lets us remove a whole lot of code. This is a followup to this discussion over a year ago: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26674/files/5a7629ddb4f22072e37ba1ae581977ce03bdf288#r1178495317

Elaborating on that, if we're concerned about browsers that don't support it, it's important to note that:

• Many of them also don't support SubmitEvent.submitter, which means the existing approach won't work for them either
• The FormData submitter can easily be polyfilled (as can SubmitEvent.submitter) for developers that care about named submit buttons working correctly in old browsers

How did you test this change?

Updated an existing test to more fully cover submitter serialization, and ran yarn test and yarn test --prod successfully.

Looks like flow needs a fix: https://github.com/facebook/flow/blob/b75ba641223ff7fe597d43ca8d4ae76c52efe9f9/lib/bom.js#L628

The two browsers which we support that were the main culprits before was:

1. Safari on older iOS versions that still wasn't updated to latest version. Safari takes a surprisingly long time to actually propagate. It's not enough that an iOS version is released.
2. Older Samsung TVs with web UIs. E.g. Facebook has TV apps on those.

Once those are confirmed, we can move to the submitter parameter.

@sebmarkbage just curious, is there a test matrix or something to automatically validate that? or is it more of a manual process/judgment call?
