use external package to wrap React imports to circumvent non-existing functions in RSC

[phryneas]

This would be one possible solution for the problem report we got in #11167

I really hope we'll get another solution than this, but I'll already open the PR to see if our package CI tests work with this.

Review Note:

Please also review https://github.com/phryneas/rehackt

• In that context: See https://github.com/phryneas/rehackt/blob/main/index.js - we could wrap that require call there in a try..catch block, which would allow our main entry point to be imported even if our consumers wouldn't have react installed.
• But we would need to export something anyways, and if that should contain a meaningful way of throwing an error message, that would increase bundle size again.

(also, release-3.9 needs to be brought up to speed with main, right now it's at the last release we had)

Seeing as you've followed through all the various threads to get to this conclusion, I see no reason we shouldn't go with it. Thanks for all the diligent work you've done to find an optimal solution given where we are with the library today!
