Refactor event pipeline to accept typed event payloads

Summary:
Changelog: [Internal] Refactor Fabric event pipeline to accept typed event payloads

As a first step towards my project of managing the Pointer Capture API by intercepting events in UIManagerBinding I need infrastructure to be able to safely & efficently read the properties of the event payload which is what this diff lays the ground work of addressing.

Currently the events are passed from the EventEmitter all the way to UIManagerBinding with only a ValueFactory (std::function lambda) which is called to produce the jsi::Value. My diff introduces a new virtual base class, EventPayload, which provides the same functionality but in a member function, asJSIValue. To ease the transition to this new paradigm I also introduce the first concrete subclass of EventPayload: ValueFactoryEventPayload — which simply stores and calls a ValueFactory so that we can incrementally migrate to typed events (or frankly, continue to be used for events that we don't *need* to be typed, as the only real use-case in the beginning will be for Pointer Events).

This diff notably does not change any behavior and should behave the exact same way it did before — it is in later diffs where I will begin applying this to the pointer events.
