## What is happening

While working on #3800 I've noticed frequent crashes on `iOS`. I'll
explain this using the demo from the test code, basically two screens,
second screen has a `RectButton`.

1. Navigate to second screen
2. Go back
3. Navigate to the second screen again
4. App crashes

Sometime it crashes immediately on startup.

## Why is it happening?

`Native` handlers are handled differently compared to others. The main
problem was that we tried to attach handler that was previously dropped,
but `NativeDetector` has no information that this happened. The flow
here looks as follows:

1. We navigate to screen with button
2. `addSubview` is called - at this point it won't attach anything as
`_nativeHandlers` is empty
3. `updateProps` is called - handlers are attached
4. We navigate back to first screen
5. Handler is dropped
6. We navigate again to second screen
7. `addSubview` is called - it tries to attach handler that was dropped,
therefore app crashes

## Solution

To fix this issue, we clear `_nativeHandlers` in `prepareForRecycle`
method.

## Test plan

<details>
<summary>I've tested it on my branch with components re-written to new
API, using the following code in EmptyExample:</summary>

```tsx
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import { RectButton } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';

export default function EmptyExample() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <RectButton
        style={styles.button}
        onPress={() => console.log('Hello World!')}
      />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  button: {
    width: 100,
    height: 30,
    borderRadius: 10,
    backgroundColor: 'pink',
  },
});
```
