Upgrade Metro to 0.79.1 in RN (#39273)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #39273

Upgrade Metro dependencies to 0.79.1 in `react-native`

This includes Metro breaking changes for disabling global package resolution by default and adds features like: Haste packages, enable resolution through symlinks and passing custom customTransformOptions and customResolverOptions to bundle_build_started log event so as to refine the bundling message. It also fixes arbitrary transformation of Babel plugins during registration in `metro-babel-register` and fixes "unexpected null" crash when handling a batch of file changes and symlinks with indirections.
