Cancel active input when the button becomes disabled.

setUserEnabled: does not cancel active tracking or reset the press state. On macOS, disabled mouseUp: and mouseDragged: return before clearing _isTouchInsideBounds or completing the press animation. On iOS, continueTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: and endTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: can dispatch drag and up actions after the button is disabled.

When disabling the button, cancel active tracking and reset the local press state. Add regression coverage for disabling the button between touch-down and touch-up.

In `@packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButton.mm` around
lines 1208 - 1210, Update setUserEnabled: so transitioning to disabled cancels
any active tracking and resets local press state, including _isTouchInsideBounds
and any active press animation, before future input handlers return. Ensure
macOS mouse handling and iOS continueTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: and
endTrackingWithTouch:withEvent: cannot dispatch drag or up actions after
disabling, and add regression coverage for disabling between touch-down and
touch-up.

Return nil when the boundary button is disabled.

shouldHandleTouch:atPoint: rejects a disabled RNGestureHandlerButton, but the inner != self condition skips this check when [super hitTest:withEvent:] returns the boundary button. Return nil when the boundary button fails shouldHandleTouch:atPoint:. Apply the same check to the RNGestureHandlerPointerEventsBoxOnly branch.

In `@packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButton.mm` at
line 1489, Update the hit-testing logic around shouldHandleTouch:atPoint: so a
disabled boundary RNGestureHandlerButton returns nil even when [super
hitTest:withEvent:] returns self; do not let the inner != self guard skip this
validation. Apply the equivalent boundary-button check in the
RNGestureHandlerPointerEventsBoxOnly branch.
