Key changes

WeakRef on Worklet Runtimes

Worklet Runtimes now support WeakRef. This required enabling Hermes' own microtask queue when the runtime is created, and draining it from C++.

• feat(Worklets): WeakRef on Worklet Runtimes by @tjzel in #10085
• refactor(worklets): consolidate scheduling API for microtask policies by @tjzel in #10100
• refactor(Worklets): move microtasks call to C++ by @tjzel in #10175

Bundle Mode script loading on par with React Native

Bundle Mode used to load the script through in-memory copies. On iOS the whole bundle stayed resident in a std::string for the app's lifetime, and on Android a dev-server bundle passed through a Java String and two more copies over JNI. Local bundles are now mmapped and Android dev-server downloads stream to a cache file, the same way React Native's own loaders work. Dev-server fetches now also check the HTTP status and surface the error message Metro returns. In development on Android, initialization reuses the bundle React Native has already downloaded.

• feat(Worklets): bring Bundle Mode script loading on par with React Native by @tjzel in #10087
• feat(Worklets): reuse React Native's downloaded dev bundle on Android by @tjzel in #10088

enableLocking option in createWorkletRuntime

createWorkletRuntime accepts a new enableLocking option, which creates a Worklet Runtime without mutex guards. It is meant for advanced use cases, where you can guarantee thread-safety of the runtime.

• feat(Worklets): add enableLocking option to createWorkletRuntime by @tjzel in #9940
