Description

The redesigned RNTester shows what tests are platform specific and allows filtering. It doesn't know about Windows or Windows custom example pages, and shows them as supporting both Android and iOS if we don't specify a platform.

This is fairly low priority, but we could either fork or try to make this more extensible upstream if we cared about this functionality working correctly on Windows.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the redesigned RNTester platform-filtering logic and the handling of custom example pages, then compare how Android and iOS support is detected. Done means Windows and Windows custom examples are recognized correctly instead of defaulting to Android and iOS; determine whether the change belongs in this repository or upstream.
