Migrate from RNEF to Rock

@rinej

We currently use the React Native Enterprise Framework (RNEF) to perform remote builds, which significantly improves build times. Recently, this framework was renamed to Rock, and migration is required to maintain alignment with the latest changes.

As part of this task, we will:

Migrate from RNEF to Rock to ensure ongoing compatibility.
Upgrade to the latest Rock version, allowing us to benefit from recent improvements

Reopening as we are not done for the adhocs yet

@JmillsExpensify

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @JmillsExpensify, @rinej, @mountiny, @LukasMod eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

Getting very close on this one

Im focusing on this right now

Investigating issues on CI based on builds from #76061

Android: App build works. it seems like there is missing output and in result - missing artifact-url. Locally it works well with private aws bucket (upload command and its output) so I forked gh actions that rock uses behind the scenes and added there some logs. I hope we will see something more from it soon.
iOS: App build failed. I added fix (same as we have with remote builds) and waiting to see future logs from next trigger

@JmillsExpensify

@JmillsExpensify, @rinej, @mountiny, @LukasMod, this Monthly task hasn't been acted upon in 6 weeks; closing.

If you disagree, feel encouraged to reopen it -- but pick your least important issue to close instead.

Leave it to others on whether we should re-prioritize and re-open.

It seems that all migration steps to Rock were already completed and tested over the last few months 👍

Great job, thanks Lukasz
