What?

Removing all of the React Native work from the codebase.

Why?

Currently, the RN implementation is broken in trunk, and working on it requires working off the latest release branch anyway. There is currently little to no active work on the Gutenberg Mobile project, no work to fix the RN implementation is planned.

How?

Just deleting tons of RN files and dependencies.
