iOS: Add new RCTCustomBundleConfiguration for modifying bundle URL (facebook#54006)

Summary:
## Summary:

Following the [RFC](react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals#933), this PR introduces a new `RCTBundleConfiguration` interface for modifying the bundle URL and exposes a new API for setting its instance in the `RCTReactNativeFactory`. The configuration object includes:

- bundleFilePath - the URL of the bundle to load from the file system,
- packagerServerScheme - the server scheme (e.g. http or https) to use when loading from the packager,
- packagerServerHost - the server host (e.g. localhost) to use when loading from the packager.

The `RCTBundleConfiguration` allows only for either `bundleFilePath` or `(packagerServerScheme, packagerServerHost)` to be set by defining appropriate initializers. 

The logic for creating bundle URL query items is extracted to a separate `createJSBundleURLQuery` method and is used by `RCTBundleManager` to set the configured `packagerServerHost` and `packagerServerScheme`. If the configuration is not defined, the `getBundleURL` method returns the result of the passed `fallbackURLProvider`.

The `bundleFilePath` should be created with `[NSURL fileURLWithPath:<path>]`, as otherwise the HMR client is created and fails ungracefully. The check is added in the `getBundle` method to log the error beforehand:

When the `bundleFilePath` is set in the `RCTBundleConfiguration` the `Connect to Metro...` message shouldn't be suggested.

## Changelog:

[IOS][ADDED] - Add new `RCTBundleConfiguration` for modifying bundle URL on `RCTReactNativeFactory`.
