fix(radio-group): prevent DOMException and NotFoundError when filtering radios (#30958)

resolves #30279 resolves #30359

## What is the current behavior?
While Ionic's `stencil.config.ts` sets `experimentalSlotFixes: true`,
the fixes never get applied at runtime. Ionic is using an external
runtime, so Ionic components import `defineCustomElement` from
`@stencil/core/internal/client` at runtime and this code has no
awareness of the project's stencil configuration.

This leads to a `NotFoundError` (Failed to execute 'removeChild' on
'Node') when filtering or dynamically removing radios in an
`ion-radio-group`. The error occurs because `ion-radio-group` wraps its
slotted content in an internal `<div>`.

## What is the new behavior?
By setting `externalRuntime: false`, Stencil generates a
project-specific file with `defineCustomElement` that components import.
This file has the project's build settings baked in, correctly applying
slot fixes.

Additionally, the internal wrapper `<div>` around the slotted content in
`ion-radio-group` is removed. With slot fixes correctly applied and the
wrapper removed, radios can be filtered or dynamically removed without
triggering `NotFoundError` or `DOMExceptions`.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

## Other information
External Runtime is enabled by default and designed for projects that
import Stencil components from multiple sources. This is flawed because
those components will not be running with the runtime settings for which
they were made.
