refactor(app-check)!: match AppCheck type with firebase-js-sdk

[russellwheatley]

Description

Updates to match firebase-js-sdk:

• breaking modular AppCheck now matches firebase-js-sdk (no instance methods); use modular functions like initializeAppCheck, getToken, getLimitedUseToken, setTokenAutoRefreshEnabled, onTokenChanged instead, matching firebase-js-sdk. See commit 423b3e915.
• breaking modular onTokenChanged callback result type changed from AppCheckListenerResult to AppCheckTokenResult. See commit 86982934a.
• breaking FirebaseApp is no longer exported from @react-native-firebase/app-check; import FirebaseApp from @react-native-firebase/app. See commit 423b3e915.
• breaking modular type exports no longer include the old statics-based surface (e.g. AppCheckStatics), aligning closer to firebase-js-sdk. See commit f5de6b89b.
• breaking FirebaseAppCheckTypes is now a type-only export (no runtime export); update any value imports to import type. See commit 540ee789f.
• Fix AI package required a tweak so app check type still showed as having getToken() method. See commit.
• chore provider classes were moved into lib/providers.ts (exports updated). See commit 76ab3a848.

Code looks good - but the docs (migrating to v24 + AppCheck docs with our custom provider config info example etc) definitely need an update for this one or the support load in the area will stay high vs immediately going to zero
