Disable JS class transforms for Hermes V1 (use SH-native class support) (#55039)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #55039

When `unstable_transformProfile` (either the preset option or via `caller` from Metro) is set to `'hermes-stable'` or `'hermes-canary'`, infer that the target engine is Hermes V1.

For Hermes V1, we don't need to transform `class` syntax any more - this has been proven in production experiments.

This should improve the performance of class-intensive APIs, like `Animated`, reduce bundle size, and improve bundling times.

Changelog: [Internal] Disable JS class transform behind unstable_transformProfile=hermes-stable
