[iOS] Fix enabled state diverging between the handler and its recognizer

[j-piasecki]

Description

Since some recognizers changed their own state in reset, it was possible for the value to desync between the recognizer and the handler. This could lead to issues where a "disabled" handler would block other gestures from firing.

This PR:

• removes explicit enabled = YES from pan gesture, since it never changes the value by itself
• replaces enabled = YES with enabled = _gestureHandler.enabled for tap, since it can set its own enabled to NO to cancel itself
• removes shouldBeRequiredToFailByGestureRecognizer from the root recognizer - it was added in de0ffb4, before aligning enabled between recognizer and handler in a64b425. Disabled recognizers should never be considered for recognition, so this is effectively a no-op.

Test plan

Tested on the provided repro: https://github.com/pawicao/rngh-v3-testing/blob/enabled-repro/src/app/index.tsx

Pull request overview

Fixes an iOS edge case where a gesture handler’s enabled value could get out of sync with its underlying UIGestureRecognizer, causing “disabled” handlers to still interfere with other gestures (e.g., blocking recognition / canceling RN responders unexpectedly).

Changes:

• Removes a root-level failure-requirement override that attempted to account for disabled handlers at the root recognizer level.
• Aligns tap recognizer enabled on reset with the backing handler’s enabled.
• Removes an unnecessary enabled = YES in pan recognizer reset (since pan doesn’t mutate enabled itself).
