Subject: [PATCH] Fix video rendering with React Native 0.86

Fold the mobile repository's react-native-video patch into the maintained fork. Avoid the bridgeless RCTBridge.current() trap, preserve the TypeScript install build, and use the supported absolute-fill style so legacy-interoperability video views receive their layout.
