pnpm Symlink support w. @rnx-kit/metro-resolver-symlinks, etc?

[karlhorky]

Description of the feature

It appears that a community member @Zn4rK has figured out how to use Expo and Expo Router with pnpm symlinks (without node-linker=hoisted in .npmrc):

• [bug] - Pnpm not working with expo pnpm/pnpm#4286 (comment)

It would be great to get:

1. An official example of this from the Expo team
2. And potentially also make this the official integration of pnpm with Expo (I can create a separate issue in expo/expo or somewhere else)

Motivation

Being able to support pnpm symlinks with the Metro symlink support is more performant than the current pnpm integration using node-linker=hoisted in .npmrc.

Awesome idea @karlhorky. Removing node-linker-hoisted makes a notable difference in the long run.

I gotta say it's nice to see pnpm work with turborepo AND expo. Lifesaver, thanks @Zn4rK.
