…Async for 6x speedup (#48637)

# Why

We noticed that fetching detailed asset data when `resolveWithFullInfo`
was set to `true` was quite slow on Android. The bottleneck was the
sequential per-file EXIF and location reads inside `putAssetsInfo` —
each image required opening the file and calling into MediaProvider via
Binder IPC (~15ms per image). That being said, the old code did this
entirely linearly, with no parallelism, which was inefficient since most
time was spent waiting on I/O.

**Credits:** this was based off of internal work at Wanderlog by
@robin-pham

# Impact

**For a read of 300 photos**

- Before: 5-6 seconds
- After: 500-800ms

# How

- Refactored `putAssetsInfo` to copy cursor rows into `AssetRowData` in
batches (up to 5000 rows), then process each batch in parallel on a
dedicated `Dispatchers.IO.limitedParallelism(32)` dispatcher.
- Parallel workers perform EXIF parsing, dimension resolution, and GPS
location reads (`getExifLocationForUri` / legacy path) without touching
the cursor, which is not thread-safe.
- Concurrency is capped at 32 based on experimentation — higher values
mostly queue on Binder's shared thread pool rather than improving
throughput.
- Added unit test coverage for `resolveWithFullInfo=true` and cursor
pagination preservation.
- Updated the native-component-list Media Library screen and bare-expo
config to make manual performance testing easier (page size selector,
fetch timing display, `resolveWithFullInfo` toggle on Android).

# Test Plan

- [x] Android native unit tests: `pnpm expotools native-unit-tests
--platform android --packages expo-media-library`
- [x] Test-suite E2E on Android: `cd apps/bare-expo && pnpm
test:android`
- [x] Manual performance comparison: `cd apps/bare-expo && pnpm android`
