Description

Today the ReactInstanceSettings has 2 properties that can be set independently, UseDirectDebugger and UseWebDebugger - however AFAIK these two are mutually exclusive now. We should mark those deprecated and replace them with a single property like

enum DebuggerType {
  Direct = 0,
  Web = 1
}

...
DebuggerType DebuggerType;

Research direction

Start by locating ReactInstanceSettings and all references to UseDirectDebugger and UseWebDebugger. Trace how these settings are exposed and consumed before assessing the enum-based replacement and deprecation behavior. Done means the mutually exclusive debugger choice is represented by one setting and existing references are accounted for.
