Image component network requests do not appear in Network DevTools on Android/iOS

Description

Network requests initiated by the React Native Image component (i.e., image source fetches) never appear in Network DevTools, even though the documentation states that this behavior is expected and supported (see https://reactnative.dev/docs/react-native-devtools -> Network Event Coverage). Issue is present on both Android and iOS.

Simple reproduction code:

function AppContent() {
  const [showImage, setShowImage] = useState(false);

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button
        onPress={() => setShowImage(true)}
        title="Show Image"
      />
      {showImage && (
        <Image
          source={{ uri: 'https://cataas.com/cat' }}
          style={styles.image}
        />
      )}
    </View>
  );
}

Steps to reproduce

1. Install React Native application via React Native Community CLI
2. Launch the app, then the DevTools, open Network tab
3. Create an Image component with source set as external url (for example https://cataas.com/cat)

React Native DevTools のドキュメントにある Network Event Coverage から始め、Android と iOS の両方で外部 Image URL リクエストを再現します。Image コンポーネントによる fetch が Network DevTools にどのように表示されるかを追跡し、その後、両方のプラットフォームで Network タブにリクエストが表示されることを確認します。提供された再現手順でドキュメントに記載された動作が機能すれば完了です。
