Expo Video native-module injection (adapter 7.0.2+)

The Expo Video adapter does not import react-native or expo-constants directly. This keeps the grouped npaw-plugin-adapters export safe for web bundlers that do not install React Native dependencies.

Expo applications must inject the native modules they already import:

import { AppState, Platform } from 'react-native';
import Constants from 'expo-constants';
import { ExpoVideoAdapter } from 'npaw-plugin-adapters';

const videoKey = 'expo-video';

npawPlugin.registerAdapterFromClass(
  player,
  ExpoVideoAdapter,
  {},
  videoKey,
  () => {
    const adapter = npawPlugin.getAdapter(videoKey);
    adapter?.setPlatform(Platform);
    adapter?.setConstants(Constants);
    adapter?.setAppState(AppState);
  }
);

Without injection, playback analytics still work, but Expo device enrichment and AppState-based background detection are skipped. Integrations upgrading from Expo Video adapter 7.0.1 must add these calls to preserve that behaviour.
