[Android] - Can't access ShadowNode in FlatList with horizontal prop

Description

I've found a discrepancy between Android and iOS platforms.
When the horizontal prop is set, the ref returned during unmount has a nullable NativeState property which breaks ShadowNode cleanup required by Unistyles.

How I access the NativeState for FlatList components:

ref?.getScrollResponder?.()?.getNativeScrollRef?.()?.__internalInstanceHandle?.stateNode?.node

Link

and then in C++:

ShadowNode::Shared shadowNode = shadowNodeFromValue(rt, args[0]); // args[0] is jsi::Value with NativeState

Desired behaviour:
I should be able to access ShadowNode during cleanup to perform own cleanups as in any other component or without horizontal prop.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the provided repro
2. Run the app on Android and open the debugger to view console.log output
3. You should see two logs:

   Mount
   NativeState: ✅
   

4. Tap the Reload button
5. Notice that NativeState is no longer present:

   Unmount
   NativeState: ❌
   

6. Run the app on iOS and open the debugger to view console.log output
7. Verify that NativeState is present in both the mount and unmount phases
8. Comment out the horizontal prop
9. Verify that NativeState is present in both the mount and unmount phases on both iOS and Android

先从必需的 reproducer 开始，比较 FlatList 在有和没有 horizontal prop 时的 Android 和 iOS 日志。使用报告中的 React Native 0.79.2 设置，跟踪围绕 NativeState 的 Fabric ShadowNode 清理路径以及 Android 实现。完成标准是：对于 horizontal FlatList，NativeState 在 Android 卸载清理期间仍然可用，与其他情况一致。
