[rn] delete the legacy renderers from the sync (#34946)
Now that RN is only on the New Architecture, we can stop stop syncing the legacy React Native renderers. In this diff, I just stop syncing them. In a follow up I'll delete the code for them so only Fabric is left. This will also allow us to remove the `enableLegacyMode` feature flag.
