Backport of #14320
Description
Removes unnecessary call to Super::DispatchCommand, ViewManagerBase will just assert(false) on dispatch command. https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/blob/main/vnext/Microsoft.ReactNative/Views/ViewManagerBase.cpp#L358. Seemed better just to remove the call incase Meta adds more methods we aren't supporting on Paper.
But let me know if the call is necessary for some reason I'm missing, we could also add a check to ignore the unsupported methods (see previous commit).
Type of Change
Why
react dev-tools will fail because upstream added the methods "highlightTraceUpdates", "highlightElements", and "clearElementsHighlights" and we only added those for Fabric, not Paper.
Resolves #14298
Testing
tested that react devtools works again!
