[tvOS/Android TV] Add (official) support for tvOS / Android TV

[Vashiru]

I would like to use react-native-audio-pro in a react-native tv app using react-native-tvos.

From what I've gathered, Apple TV / Android TV are (mostly) compatible with iOS / Android under the hood.

So far from my testing, that appears to be correct. I've manipulated the Podspec locally to s.platforms = { :ios => min_ios_version_supported, :tvos => min_ios_version_supported } to get it to install for react-native-tvos and managed to play a livestream from the web using AudioPro.play() using the Simulator. Although the state from useAudioPro() seems to be permanently stuck on IDLE.

I've not tried Android yet, but I was hoping to see what thoughts are on this subject seeing as react-native-track-player currently doesn't support new architecture yet and I don't see any official stance on it nor on the roadmap.

I've locally gotten an example app working wtih react-native-tvos (after removing the community slider as that doesn't seem to be compatible with :tvos). Most of the functionality seems to be working, I can play/pause, the state does correctly update between IDLE/Playing/Paused in the example app I created.

Ambient.Play() fails due to path.startsWith() not being a function, but other than that I think the library is in good shape for support.

I've pushed the changes I made to get the exampletv app to https://github.com/Vashiru/react-native-audio-pro/tree/feature/support_react_native_tvos. The exampletv app is functionally identical to the example app, minus the slider.

I'm not creating a PR (yet) as I don't know if this is a welcome change to the codebase or not.
