Move towards React host refs instead of findNodeHandle for compatibility react-native-web@next

[jfrolich]

findNodeHandle should not be used anymore and recently it breaks compatibility with new builds of react-native-web. I also think this will enable react-native-reanimated to be compatible with function components, so that would be nice!

It seems not to be fixed yet. In the mean time react-native-web has reached a new stable version.

Looking at the code here:

react-native-gesture-handler/src/handlers/gestureHandlerCommon.ts

Line 180 in 2ae0c20

if (Platform.OS === 'web') return node;

it seems like it is now handled on web. I will close this issue then. Feel free to comment if something is wrong and we can always reopen it.
