I created one last dev build for this branch before it gets merged for testing without some of the other breaking changes that will be coming to major-9.0: After this point, the RR6 changes will be integrated in the major-9.0 changes and any breaking changes that come with. |

Issue number: resolves #24177
What is the current behavior?
Currently, Ionic Framework React Router only supports React Router 5. This has many issues and unsupported/broken features.
What is the new behavior?
With this change, Ionic Framework will support React Router 6 while still supporting transitions in the same way a native app does.
Most of what caused this change to take a long time is that React Router 5 and React Router 6 have fundamental differences in how they handle components once they're no longer part of the view. In this change, we move away from relying on React Router directly so much and have our own implementation for deciding how views get dealt with during navigation and when they're cleaned up, allowing for us to still transition between them like we need to while still using React Router as much as we possibly can.
This change will also lay the foundation for the migration to React Router 7, which will ideally be easier since most of the hard work has been dealt with here.
Does this introduce a breaking change?
