Description

Follow up from https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/pull/14648.

The JsiRuntime that is handed out is not supposed to be held onto by the app. The JsiRuntime object that is passed out in events / from the CallInvoker should disconnect after the event/invoke call to prevent users from holding on to the object. In core this is passed to the app as a Runtime& which make it more clear that it shouldn't be held on to.
