🕳 Add Suspense Boundary Context and unstable_avoidThisFallback

The new suspense boundary context will be used to implement longer suspense in case it is undesirable to show a certain fallback state.
The first usage of this is the unstable_avoidThisFallback property that can be used to avoid fall back to the outer most suspense boundary.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15578

🛠 Experimental DevTools: Add Suspense Toggle to All Elements

You can now toggle suspense on every element in the experimental DevTools. If the component is not in a suspense boundary, it will also show a warning.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15492

🎇 React Flare Updates

Continuing the work of the past few weeks, the team worked on adding React.unstable_createEventComponent, more press event properties, server-side hit slop rendering, and a lot of other bug fixes.

🎽 Fix Interaction Tracing for Batched Update Mounts

This PR fixes an issue with interaction tracking that occurred when a root was mounting inside a batched update.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15567

🔋 Batched Mode and

ReactDOM.unstable_createSyncRoot
Batched Mode is a new unstable React mode that ensures that updates are always batched while still doing all rendering without interruption. It can be opted in with the new ReactDOM.unstable_createSyncRoot API.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15502

🌀 Add withSuspenseConfig API

The new unstable_withSuspenseConfig() API can be used to schedule updates with a different suspense config. This can be used to implement busy spinners.

https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/15593

👋 Remove <React.unstable_ConcurrentMode />

Partial opt-in into Concurrent Mode creates edge cases that are not trivial to support. Instead, the recommended approach is to opt in the entire root.
