Follow-up to #34641. Similar to #35293, #35294. React DevTools backend can be used in non-DOM environments, so we have to feature-check some DOM APIs. For now I am just no-oping newly added commands for Native, we should revisit this decision once we would roll out Suspense panel there, if needed. I am not sure if scrolling will be required as much as it is needed on Web. `isReactNativeEnvironment()` check is kinda clowny, but we've been relying on it for quite some time already.

React Native doesn't implement
getClientRect, since this is applicable to CSS box, which is not a concept for Native (maybe yet).I am loosening the condition that gates
showOverlay()call to pass ifgetClientRectis not implemented.Conceptually, everything that is inside
react-devtools-shared/backendshould be Host-agnostic, because both on Web and Native it is installed inside the Host JavaScript runtime, be it main frame of the page, or RN instance. Since overlay & highlighting logic also lives there, it should also follow these principles.
