Implement snapToInterval property for ScrollView in Fabric

[Copilot]

This PR implements the missing snapToInterval property for ScrollView in the React Native Windows Fabric (new architecture) implementation.

Problem

The snapToInterval property was available in the Paper implementation via ScrollViewManager.cpp but was missing from the Fabric implementation in ScrollViewComponentView.cpp. This meant that developers using the new architecture couldn't use interval-based snapping behavior.

Solution

Added comprehensive support for snapToInterval that:

1. Detects property changes: Modified updateProps() to check for snapToInterval changes alongside existing snap properties
2. Generates snap points: Created updateSnapPoints() helper method that converts interval values to discrete snap point offsets
3. Handles content changes: Modified updateContentVisualSize() to recalculate snap points when content size changes
4. Respects priority: Follows React Native behavior where snapToOffsets takes priority over snapToInterval

Implementation Details

// Property priority (matches React Native behavior)
if (viewProps.snapToOffsets.size() > 0) {
  // Use explicit snapToOffsets
} else if (viewProps.snapToInterval > 0) {
  // Generate snap points at regular intervals
  float interval = viewProps.snapToInterval * pointScaleFactor;
  for (float offset = 0; offset <= contentLength; offset += interval) {
    snapToOffsets.Append(offset);
  }
}

Key Features

• ✅ Cross-platform consistency: Matches iOS React Native behavior
• ✅ Proper scaling: Handles high-DPI displays using pointScaleFactor
• ✅ Direction support: Works for both horizontal and vertical scrolling
• ✅ Dynamic updates: Recalculates when content size changes
• ✅ Safety checks: Prevents infinite loops and excessive memory usage
• ✅ Property integration: Works with snapToStart, snapToEnd, snapToAlignment

Example Usage

<ScrollView
  horizontal={true}
  snapToInterval={100}        // Snap every 100 logical pixels
  snapToAlignment="start"     // Align to start of intervals
  snapToStart={true}          // Include start position
  snapToEnd={true}           // Include end position
>
  {/* Content that will snap at 0, 100, 200, 300, ... */}
</ScrollView>

Testing

• Created comprehensive unit tests validating snap point generation logic
• Verified behavior with existing RNTester ScrollView examples
• Tested edge cases including scale factors and content size changes

Fixes #13150.

Removed changes in vnext/codegen files as requested in commit 8ba9bcd. These auto-generated files have been reverted to their original state.

don't remove this

[Copilot]

Restored the original inline snap points logic as requested. The code now preserves the existing logic for basic snapToOffsets cases and only uses the new updateSnapPoints() method when snapToInterval is involved. Commit 0424e18.

Since this snappoint is dependent on the size, you'll have to ensure that this function is rerun when the size changes.. we should do a special InteractionTrackerInertiaRestingValue for the end snap point, which uses some references to the size so we dont need to constantly recalculate all of this.

[Copilot]

You're absolutely right about the performance concern. The current implementation recalculates all snap points on every content size change, which is inefficient.

I'll implement the optimization using InteractionTrackerInertiaRestingValue with expression animations (similar to how snapToEnd works in CompositionContextHelper.cpp). This will let the composition system dynamically calculate snap points based on size references rather than pre-calculating them.

Working on this now.
