feat(e2e-latest): enable New Architecture (RN 0.84)

- Set newArchEnabled=true in gradle.properties
- Rewrite settings.gradle to use RN 0.84 autolinking
- Add kotlin-android plugin, remove old native_modules.gradle
- Simplify Podfile (remove deprecated flags/workarounds)
- Bump Kotlin to 2.1.20, minSdkVersion to 24 (New Arch requirement)
- Add detox dependency to package.json
