Clean up YogaLayoutableShadowNode (re-enable assert, name sentinel, document ABA) (#57064)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #57064

Three small cleanups uncovered during review of the clone path:

- Re-enable the dirty-flag inheritance assert in the clone
  constructor. It was disabled while the background executor was
  potentially racing the JS thread; background executor is no
  longer in use, so the assert is meaningful again.
- Lift the `0xBADC0FFEE0DDF00D` magic owner sentinel out into a
  named `yoga::Node* const` (`reinterpret_cast` is not constexpr,
  so it can't be `constexpr`). The bit pattern stays the same so
  it remains recognisable in debuggers.
- Move the explanatory comment for `updateYogaChildrenOwnersIfNeeded`
  next to its implementation and rewrite it to clearly describe the
  ABA scenario it guards against (and the common no-op case).
