Revert "Fix Deadlock in RCTi18nUtil (iOS) (#31032)" (#32574) (#32714)

Summary:
This reverts commit fcead14.

This should close #32509 . There was a bug where il8nManager.forceRTL() wouldn't work on app launch, and required an app restart. That was caused by an earlier change (#31032) which should not be necessary (the deadlock it was attempting to fix was actually caused by separate code).
