feat(react): Add react-router to create-nx-workspace and react app generator

[ndcunningham]

This pull request introduces improvements to React Router integration and removes the Remix preset.

Key Changes:

• Updated create-nx-workspace to support React Router.
• Removed the Remix option from create-nx-workspace, but the package remains to support existing users.

SSR & React Router Support

• New users who want SSR in their React apps can enable it via the React option and select React Router for SSR support.
• The ecosystem has shifted to migrating from Remix to React Router for SSR needs.
• This option is only available for plain React apps and uses Vite. Other types of React apps (Micro Frontends, Webpack, Rspack, etc.) remain unaffected.

Default Routing Behavior

--routing is now enabled by default when creating a React app using create-nx-workspace, aligning with Angular’s default behaviour.

just got a question: what is the diff between --routing and --useReactRouter? if i pass in --routing, would be there other routing library to use?

You get react-router-dom similar to what is on master. The --useReactRouter is to future-proof so we can also support library mode for react router without impacting users currently using react-router-dom.
