Description
Currently we have to create an extra wrapper Control for focus related APIs to work on RN components. In OSS XAML, UIElement supports being focused directly.
This task is tracking optimizing away the Control we currently create and setting focus directly on the XAML view.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing where RN components receive their focus-related APIs and where the extra Control wrapper is created, then compare that path with direct focus on the XAML view. Done means focus works directly on the XAML view without creating the wrapper Control.
