This PR backports microsoft#13572 to 0.74. ## Description Visual Studio solution files cannot use variables in paths to the various project files, and up until now the paths to RNW projects assumed a simple app repo, and were hardcoded to `..\node_modules\react-native-windows\`. This PR changes the templates for both new and old architecture projects to instead inject the calculated actual path to the RNW package. **Note:** Node does not "see" symlinks, only their resolved path. So if you're getting RNW via a symlink (say through yarn link) the sln file will hardcode the resolved path at the time of creation. ### Type of Change - Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) ### Why Some user feedback has indicated that the hardcoded paths did not work for monorepos which may have multiple packages depending on RNW. ### What See above. ## Screenshots N/A ## Testing Verified that the path is now generated. ## Changelog Should this change be included in the release notes: _yes_ Update templates to calculate rnwPath for *.sln files

Visual Studio solution files cannot use variables in paths to the various project files, and up until now the paths to RNW projects assumed a simple app repo, and were hardcoded to
..\node_modules\react-native-windows\.This PR changes the templates for both new and old architecture projects to instead inject the calculated actual path to the RNW package.

Why
Some user feedback has indicated that the hardcoded paths did not work for monorepos which may have multiple packages depending on RNW.
What
See above.

Testing
Verified that the path is now generated.
