convert to new react native config format

No description provided.

according to the react-native cli docs: hooks are considered anti-pattern, please avoid them
I'm not sure that we should continue to support the prelink script that auto-adds the android manifest permissions. it would likely be best to just document the required permissions and require that you add them yourself

[IntelliJAbhishek]

@Traviskn Just add required permission in docs. No need to autolink permission. A proper docs would be enough.

I don't think we need the react-native.config.js script at all.
The script installs permissions, but these are already mentioned in the readme

@Traviskn Hello, is it possible to merge this PR? Or this library is not maintained anymore?

We need it anyway to mograte to latest react-native standards, so could you please merge it?

[Traviskn]

merging for now, planning on a follow up PR to update the README and remove the hook entirely
