Remove * dependencies on @react-native

[lunaleaps]

Summary:

See #41929 for an issue on multiple monorepo packages being installed. The reason is that * resolves to whatever is tagged latest on npm.

We still need to fix the fact that our monorepo publish script will update the latest tag everytime we publish. For now, we should remove these from main and we will also update this in the 0.73 release branch.

I've left the two peer dependencies on react-native to keep at *.

virtualized-lists/package.json
30:    "react-native": "*"

rn-tester/package.json
32:    "react-native": "*"

As a peer-dependency this won't be a problem in terms of installing a second react-native. I thought about updating these to nightly, but that would install multiple nightly react-natives as the tag will be updated with each nightly release. I think for now this is fine and something we can revisit.

Things left to do

• Fix monorepo publish script to not update --latest
• Do the same thing for 0.73, 0.72, 0.71
  • For 0.73: Update these to use latest 0.73.x versions #42082
• Remove ^ dependencies on monorepo packages:
  • For main: D52440454, Remove caret from monorepo dependencies #42086
  • For 0.73 Fix monorepo package versions to version published with release #41958
• Re-evaluate how we bump and align monorepo packages when we cut a release branch. I forget if we manually update this when we cut or if there is a script. We may want to change the script and have main dependencies point to some fake version like 1000.0.0 and only update these on nightly publishes. Regardless, this will need some discussion.
