[RFC] API Routes in Expo Router (#24429)

# Why

Servers are an important part of developing many different types of
apps, but they're much harder to configure than they need to be.

API Routes will enable users to express some abstract JavaScript code
that runs in a server by simply creating a file in the app directory,
and adding the `+api.js` suffix. For example, to securely interact with
OpenAI, simply:

```ts
// app/generate+api.ts
import { ExpoRequest, ExpoResponse } from 'expo-router/server';

export async function POST(req: ExpoRequest): Promise<ExpoResponse> {
const { prompt } = await req.json();

const json = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/text-davinci-003/completions', {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
// `OPENAI_API_KEY` is pulled from the .env file when running in Expo CLI.
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY ?? ''}`,
},
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({
prompt,
max_tokens: 100,
}),
}).then(res => res.json());

// Return as JSON
return ExpoResponse.json(json);
}
```

This will be served at `http://localhost:8081/generate` with `npx expo`
and can be used by making a request:

```sh
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \'{"prompt":"Hello, my name is"}\' http://localhost:8081/generate
```

Expo Router polyfills the URL and `window.location` object on native to
allow for universally requesting with a relative URL:

```js
// Expo prepends the host and port to the URL automatically in development.
const json = await fetch('/generate').then(res => res.json());
```

# How

- API Routes are bundled with Metro, leveraging all the same
functionality as the rest of the app and website.
- The project babel config is used to transpile the API routes.
Indication is passed to the Babel caller via the `isServer` boolean.
This can be used to change the preset based on the environment.
- Each API route is bundled into a standalone file in the `dist/_expo`
directory. This is akin to ncc, the tool we use to make Create Expo App
download in ~1 second.
- Create a new package `@expo/server` which includes the requisite
middleware and runtime polyfills for the Expo server environment.
- Add a new routes manifest which will be used by `@expo/server` to
serve up the three types of routes: HTML routes, API routes, and not
found routes (404s).
- Add a new export `expo-router/server` (potentially will be moved to
`expo/server`) which contains the `ExpoRequest` and `ExpoResponse`
objects. These are all based on the WinterCG specification, and include
some additional properties for interop with the Expo Router filesystem
convention. These are inspired by Remix, SvelteKit, and Next.js for
simplicity.
- Add a new export mode `web.output: "server"` which can be used to
export a dynamic server. Note: I may drop this for now and make server
the default since there's no expo-specific hosting code that must be
exported.
- This PR adds the ability to host the app with an express server,
different production adapters to follow.

# Test Plan

In addition to all the E2E Metro tests, I've added a new E2E runner
which starts a server and pings different requests to ensure expected
behavior. These run in the CLI as opposed to the `@expo/server` package.
