ios notifications: Stop using wix/react-native-notifications.

wix/react-native-notifications doesn't seem to be maintained [1].
expo-notifications also works on both platforms, but we've decided
it's not for us [2].

But we don't even use react-native-notifications in a cross-platform
way; we uprooted the last of the linking logic on Android in
01b33ad. It also seems non-optimal to have two different libraries
doing work to support push notifications on iOS. See also
discussion [3].

So, let PushNotificationIOS from react-native take responsibility
for what this library has been doing. Then, since *that's*
deprecated, an upcoming commit will have us using that same code but
from react-native-community, where it's maintained.

These were my steps:

1. Use the setup instructions for our version of
   wix/react-native-notifications [4] to tear it down.

2. Use the setup instructions for `PushNotificationIOS` [5] from RN
   v0.62 to complete our setup. We hadn't yet done everything in
   these instructions, whether because we didn't need that
   functionality before, or it wasn't available in earlier RN
   versions. We did some of this setup in the previous commit.

3. Make tiny, NFC adjustments, mostly to indentation, to smooth the
   transition to the react-native-community module.

4. Change the call sites to use PushNotificationIOS, and update some
   types and comments. One part that stands out is the removal of
   the "consumeBackgroundQueue" hack from c0e2233. Nothing further
   is necessary, it just works. :)

5. Do various housekeeping things like removing the libdef.

6. On iOS, test that notifications still appear in the closed and
   background states and that, from either state, they navigate to
   the corresponding narrow. All works as expected, with one
   "gotcha": from a cold start, in debug mode, sometimes
   notifications don't navigate. There's an open issue for this [6],
   and it seems it doesn't affect release builds. In debug mode, I
   was able to solve it by disabling "Debug JS Remotely", following
   one comment there. In any case, `getInitialNotification` is what
   we've already been using PushNotificationIOS for, for a long
   time, so this hiccup is not new.

7. On Android, test that notifications appear (regardless of
   closed/background/foreground state) and that they navigate to the
   corresponding narrow.
