Description

BundleUrlFormat has changed in core but we haven't kept up with it

I think this was originally copied from https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/8a2be3e1438dd145ccb5374d6ef60811047d23aa/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/devsupport/DevServerHelper.java#L436
Looks like their URL has changed a bunch since we copied it (we might want to look into what these new URL params are). But they are hard coding http://. No real reason we couldn't allow it to be specified though.

Research direction

Start in vnext/Shared/DevServerHelper.h at BundleUrlFormat and compare its URL construction with the referenced React Native core implementation. Identify the URL parameters that have changed and verify the Windows dev-server URL matches the current core format; consider the issue's note about allowing the protocol to be specified.
