react-autosize-textarea dependency is unmaintained and outdated

[sirreal]

Description

@gziolo and @t-hamano identified that that this library in unmaintained. It's currently causing issues with type incompatibilities (#61486) and other problems.

We could fork and maintain a version of the package or migrate to another solution.

Maybe we can invest some time and fix the react-textarea-autosize Firefox issue.

Unfortunately, the field-sizing property is still unsupported in some browsers. Solving this with just CSS would've been nice. Read more: https://chriscoyier.net/2023/09/29/css-solves-auto-expanding-textareas-probably-eventually/.

I've experimented with removing react-autosize-textarea in favor of our built-in TextareaControl with field-sizing in #64208.

It's a bummer that it's blocked by field-sizing's browser support, but hopefully, this will change soon.

I think this is a duplicate of #39619.

@sirreal, let's close this issue and keep the old one. There's no need to keep duplicates around.
