Modernize native project config, tooling and CI

[ivnbogdan]

Summary

The JS layer of this SDK was refreshed recently (0.5.0), but the native project config and build tooling dated back to the original 2017-era module template. This PR brings both up to current standards while keeping the existing compatibility range (react-native >=0.81.4, open-ended).

Native (Android)

• Declare namespace in build.gradle (required by AGP 8; removed the package attribute from AndroidManifest.xml, which AGP 8.3+ rejects)
• Move to the modern compileSdk/minSdk property DSL (the method forms are slated for removal in AGP 10) with fallbacks raised 27/16 → 36/24, and drop targetSdkVersion (deprecated for library modules, removed from AGP 9's library DSL); target Java 17
• Drop obsolete buildToolsVersion, abiFilters (pure-Java module), versionCode and lint workarounds
• Keep com.facebook.react:react-native:+ — the React Native Gradle Plugin substitutes the app's exact react-android version

Native (iOS)

• Deployment target iOS 10 → 15.1 (React Native 0.81+ floor)
• s.dependency 'React' → 'React-Core'
• Fix s.source, which still pointed at the third-party module template this project was scaffolded from

Tooling & CI

• TypeScript ~6.0.3 (7.0's Go-based compiler is incompatible with tsup's dts step), vite 8, vitest 4, @types/node 24, tsup 8.5.1
• tsconfig: remove unused baseUrl/paths, moduleResolution: bundler; the TS6 baseUrl deprecation tsup still triggers internally is silenced inside tsup's dts options, keeping the shared tsconfig loadable by TypeScript ≤ 5.9 tooling
• Add prepublishOnly (build + test) so npm publish can never ship a stale dist/
• CI: Node 24, actions/checkout@v7, actions/setup-node@v7, npm ci with caching

Examples

• @aptabase/react-native ^0.3.10 → ^0.5.0, with both example lockfiles regenerated to match
• Add react-dom/react-native-web to HelloWorldExpo (missing since web support landed in feat: add react native web support #13, expo export --platform web failed without them)

Validation

• npm run build (ESM + dts) and all 30 unit tests pass on the new toolchain
• Fresh React Native 0.86 app consuming the packed tarball: autolinking works, consumer tsc --noEmit passes, and Android assembleDebug succeeds (Gradle 9.3.1, AGP 8, JDK 21, compileSdk 36) with RNAptabaseModule compiled into the APK — this build fails on main without the namespace fix. The final property-DSL form was additionally validated by configuring the module standalone under Gradle 9.3.1 + AGP 8.12
• npm ci in both example directories validates against the regenerated lockfiles
• HelloWorldExpo (Expo 54 / RN 0.81.4, the floor of the peer range): web export succeeds with the updated library
• iOS: podspec changes are static-only validation (no CocoaPods/iOS SDK on the build machine)
