react-native-device-info does not seem to handle new architecture for windows

[mikehardy]

Problem Description

A friendly Microsoft person mentioned in react-native-permissions (zoontek/react-native-permissions#925) that they may be able to help with react-ntive-windows implementations of some important modules

Historically there was help from Microsoft getting react-native-device-info working, and I'll admit (as maintainer) I need the help for New Arch as well - related issue: react-native-device-info/react-native-device-info#1687

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install react-native-windows 0.76+ with new arch enabled
2. add react-native-device-info
3. Sad developer 😆

I am deliberately being pretty brief about reproduction details because I believe it's trivial to reproduce, but I'm the maintainer - I expect to collaborate on the related issue

I will also apologize in advance for the very very out of date example app in repo, haven't had time to fix it

Expected Results

Working compile

CLI version

15 reproduces it

Environment

npx @react-native-community/cli info

Everything current as of this typing will reproduce - that's 0.77.0 and current version of react-native-device-info

Hey Mike! Thanks for filing this - I have been working on adding New Arch support for other community modules, and can work on adding New Arch support for react-native-device-info. We only have new arch support for more recent versions of RNW - the first step would be to upgrade ideally to a version >= 76. It looks like the module is currently on 0.67 - is this something that can be upgraded fairly smoothly?
