Implement `react-native-macos-init` in `react-native.config.js`

[szymonrybczak]

Summary

Right now react-native-macos-init is implemented as separate package. But inside React Native CLI we've plugins, which allows to add new commands. Actually inside react-native-macos I can see that there's implemented run-macos command via react-native.config.js.

react-native-macos/react-native.config.js

Lines 20 to 23 in 3ea16bd

	const macosCommands = [require('./local-cli/runMacOS/runMacOS')];
	module.exports = {
	commands: [...iosCommands, ...androidCommands, ...macosCommands],

So it'll really good to unify this, and use react-native.config.js for the init command.

Motivation

That's official API provided by RN CLI, and it'll also in some way future-proof to unify this.

Basic Example

There's documentation which provides all necessarily informations, how to do it correctly.

when I try to add macos to my project.
react-native@0.71.0 is not compatible i guess. I am getting such error: Error: Command failed: npm install --save --silent "react-native-macos@^0.68.0-0"
at checkExecSyncError (node:child_process:871:11)
I am following the steps in official website. I am using mack Operating system.
How can I solve this isse?

@Sirojiddin96 Could you file a separate issues? This issue is a request from the React Native CLI team to update some of our code, which is separate from the issue you're seeing. Perhaps you see the same issue as here? #1738 If so, that is a known issue with 0.71 we're working on right now.
