[Flight] Warn if this argument is passed to .bind of a Server Referen…

…ce (#28380)

This won't ever be serialized and is likely just a mistake.

This should be covered by the "use server" compiler since it ensures
that something that accepts a "this" won't be allowed to compile and if
it doesn't accept it, TypeScript should ideally forbid it to be passed.

So maybe this is unnecessary.
