feat: upgrade to react native 0.79

This was necessary because we had to use the newest iOS SDK, which had an issue with react-native, which was only fixed with the newest versions.

The move to new architecture has been hellish, but all appears to work. It requires more patches, and it shows which packages are currently maintained poorly. This goes especially for react-native-track-player. We're using a fork right now, but in order to make that work, we had to switch to pnpm.
