getPhotos doesn't work if you use compileSdkVersion 33

[aharwood9]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

getPhotos on Android uses the PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and will throw an error if this isn't granted. We had to update our app to use compileSdkVersion 33 which means getPhotos no longer works as READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE no longer has an impact.

Here is a link from the Android docs -

Note: Starting in API level 33, this permission has no effect. If your app accesses other apps' media files, request one or more of these permissions instead: [READ_MEDIA_IMAGES](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#READ_MEDIA_IMAGES), [READ_MEDIA_VIDEO](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#READ_MEDIA_VIDEO), [READ_MEDIA_AUDIO](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#READ_MEDIA_AUDIO).

Dev environment info (please complete/provide the following information):

@aharwood9 There is no api to get the target SDK on runtime... So we are going to make it so that if react native 0.71 version is used then to use the new permissions..

Just to be clear, you are using RN v0.71 right?
