fix: add native ad compatibility layer

[wjaykim]

Description

Removed codegen event emitter(added in RN 0.76.2) related code and replaced it with GoogleMobileAdsNativeEventEmitter, which is shared legacy event emitter(which is used in full screen ads).

Also I removed unnecessary constructor passing contexts in classes extending ViewGroupManager, which breaks android build in rn version lower than 0.75.

Waiting for response of a issue about includesGeneratedCode option in facebook/react-native#48621, because build is still breaking with the option.

any update on getting this merged?

[rdjuric]

We've been testing this PR with a patch-package and everything seems to be working well.

We're on RN 0.74.5, using the old arch. App built correctly and all events are firing normally.

[dylancom]

Why not upgrade to 0.76 and set old arch true. RN0.78 is already released.
Removing the new EventEmitter blocks progress on this package.

@goxr3plus what would this PR fix about that? This PR re-introduces the legacy event emitter as the new EventEmitter is added in 0.76.2. You can test the example app for e.g. and compare with your code: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-google-mobile-ads/tree/main/RNGoogleMobileAdsExample
