Subject: [PATCH] Support 'react-native/react-private-interface' in build-types
 (#58075)

Summary:
**Motivation**

Minimum infra fix to enable subsequently landing https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/57940.

Referencing `ReactNativeFeatureFlags` on the existing `react-native/react-private-interface` boundary is blocked by a gap in the `build-types` pipeline and a type translation error, addressed here.

**Changes**

- `simpleResolve.js`: Explicitly support `react-native/react-private-interface` as a special case, fixing resolution.
- `ReactNativeFeatureFlagsBase.js`: Tweak the `OverridesFor` type here to fix TypeScript translation compatibility, where the unconstrained `T` type param is now narrowed.

**Impact**

No change to the API snapshot (the `ReactNativeFeatureFlags` import is ultimately tree-shaken!), and no effect on generated types until https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57940 lands.

Changelog: [Internal]

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58075

Test Plan:
- `yarn build-types`
- Applied https://github.com/react/react-native/issues/57940 patch on top; both stayed green, no `types_generated/**/featureflags/**`
