[RN] Fix timeStamp property of SyntheticEvent in React Native (#35912)
## Summary This fixes the semantics of the `timeStamp` property of events in React Native. Currently, most events just assign `Date.now()` (at the time of creating the event object in JavaScript) as the `timeStamp` property. This is a divergence with Web and most native platforms, that use a monotonic timestamp for the value (on Web, the same timestamp provided by `performance.now()`). Additionally, many native events specify a timestamp in the event data object as `timestamp` and gets ignored by the logic in JS as it only looks at properties named `timeStamp` specifically (camel case). This PR fixes both issues by: 1. Using `performance.now()` instead of `Date.now()` by default (if available). 2. Checking for a `timestamp` property before falling back to the default (apart from `timeStamp`). ## How did you test this change? Added unit tests for verify the new behavior.
