Fix #118

The examples page was no longer rendering.

This updates it to use the latest React version and Vite instead of react-scripts.

Works again after the update: https://deploy-preview-119--react-datocms-example.netlify.app/

I regenerated the whole thing from scratch to make sure we have no orphans in it

"eject": "react-scripts eject"
"start": "vite",
"build": "vite build",
"setup": "echo 'Setup is no longer necessary in this version, skipping...'"

We can also modify the Netlify build command to remove this step

"@datocms/cma-client-browser": "^5.2.1",
"react": "^19.2.3",
"react-datocms": "^7.2.4",
"react-dom": "^19.2.3",

It is better to more realistically include it from npm, I think, for people who don't want to build the whole monorepo (parent repo) and just want to use the examples. The setup step and file-based transclusion is kinda messy....

base: './',
plugins: [react()],
build: {
outDir: "build",

This has to be explicitly specified for backward compatibility with react-script's default folder

Thanks for the fix 🙏 if you're taking suggestions, there's also what looks like a debugging line left in the image examples:

onLoad={() =>
setLog((log) => [
...log,
`Triggered onLoad() for element ${ref.current}`,
])
}
/>
</div>
<pre>{log.join('\n')}</pre>

Not sure what that's about... 🤷 Removed it for now in 5320502, but @stefanoverna may add it back if there's a good reason for it?
