feat: Export usePressability hook as public API

[natew]

Summary

Exports the usePressability hook and related types (PressabilityConfig, PressabilityEventHandlers) from the public react-native API, enabling library authors to implement Pressable-quality press handling on custom components without deep imports.

Motivation

With deep imports being deprecated in 0.80 and removal planned for 0.82 (Discussion #893), libraries using usePressability need a public alternative.

Why not just use <Pressable>?

Pressable wraps content in a View, which:

• Adds an extra layer to the view hierarchy
• Can interfere with flex layout and styling
• Requires wrapping every pressable element

usePressability allows applying press handling directly to existing View/Text components—the same pattern React Native uses internally for Text and TextInput.

Use Case

UI libraries like Tamagui use usePressability to provide press styles on styled View/Text primitives:

• Smooth press + hold + move out behavior
• Automatic cancellation when scrolling begins
• Hit slop support
• No wrapper View affecting layout

Internal Usage

Already used by React Native's own components:

• Pressable.js
• Text.js
• TextInput.js

Changelog

[GENERAL] [ADDED] - Export usePressability hook and PressabilityConfig/PressabilityEventHandlers types from the public API

Test Plan

• Existing Pressability tests pass
• Export accessible via import { usePressability } from 'react-native'
• TypeScript/Flow types correctly exported
