Previously, the `refs` property of a class component instance was read-only by user code — only React could write to it, and until/unless a string ref was used, it pointed to a shared empty object that was frozen in dev to prevent userspace mutations. Because string refs are deprecated, we want users to be able to codemod all their string refs to callback refs. The safest way to do this is to output a callback ref that assigns to `this.refs`. So to support this, we need to make `this.refs` writable by userspace.

Reverts #28867 It broke some tests, reverting until we figure out why to avoid having too much delay in the sync.
