Description

Summary

Switch enableFocusRing to be true by default (requires a native change. This issue is for tracking and making intent of behavior public, there should be no changes in the repo itself to implement this behavior.)

Motivation

RNWin32 has operated with mostly having clients implement their own focus UI through JS. With adding enableFocusRing in #9110 , in order to make sure that the new prop doesn't cause any issues on introduction, we are starting with the default to false, but want to transition to turning it on by default to align with other platforms long term. This issue is to track this intent.

Research direction

Review the enableFocusRing introduction referenced in #9110 and identify where the native View default is defined. The issue says no repository changes are expected here; completion would require the native change that turns the default on and makes the behavior align with other platforms.
