Disable unsupported Bridge protocol version dialog and add workaround…

… for old protocol operations format (facebook#24093)

Rationale: The only case where the unsupported dialog really matters is React Naive. That's the case where the frontend and backend versions are most likely to mismatch. In React Native, the backend is likely to send the bridge protocol version before sending operations– since the agent does this proactively during initialization.

I've tested the React Native starter app– after forcefully downgrading the backend version to 4.19.1 (see facebook#23307 (comment)) and verified that this change "fixes" things. Not only does DevTools no longer throw an error that causes the UI to be hidden– it works (meaning that the Components tree can be inspected and interacted with).
