###### Use Oxc for react refresh transform in rolldown-vite

When used with rolldown-vite, this plugin now uses Oxc for react refresh transform.

Since this behavior is what `@vitejs/plugin-react-oxc` did, `@vitejs/plugin-react-oxc` is now deprecated and the `disableOxcRecommendation` option is removed.

Also, while `@vitejs/plugin-react-oxc` used the production JSX transform even for `NODE_ENV=development` build, `@vitejs/plugin-react` uses the development JSX transform for `NODE_ENV=development` build.

###### Allow processing files in `node_modules`

The default value of `exclude` options is now `[/\/node_modules\//]` to allow processing files in `node_modules` directory. It was previously `[]` and files in `node_modules` was always excluded regardless of the value of `exclude` option.

###### `react` and `react-dom` is no longer added to [`resolve.dedupe`](https://vite.dev/config/#resolve-dedupe) automatically

Adding values to `resolve.dedupe` forces Vite to resolve them differently from how Node.js does, which can be confusing and may not be expected. This plugin no longer adds `react` and `react-dom` to `resolve.dedupe` automatically.

If you encounter errors after upgrading, check your package.json for version mismatches in `dependencies` or `devDependencies`, as well as your package manager’s configuration. If you prefer the previous behavior, you can manually add `react` and `react-dom` to `resolve.dedupe`.

###### Remove old `babel-plugin-react-compiler` support that requires `runtimeModule` option

`runtimeModule` option is no longer needed in newer `babel-plugin-react-compiler` versions. Make sure to use a newer version of `babel-plugin-react-compiler` that supports `target` option.

###### Require Node 20.19+, 22.12+

This plugin now requires Node 20.19+ or 22.12+.
