By default, the edges of rotated layers on iOS have jagged edges because they are not antialiased. Setting allowsEdgeAntialiasing makes them look a lot nicer by smoothing out the jaggies. This is particularly important for UIs like Tinder cards, for example.

Test Plan: Get the transform example working in the UIExplorer and do a manual before & after comparison and see that the jaggies are gone.

Nice. I wonder if we should also expose it as an overrideable property?

@sahrens I think that makes sense so the heuristic that decides whether to enable it can be implemented in JS.

I would lean towards not exposing it until we come across a use case where the existing heuristic doesn't work. Otherwise we're introducing additional complexity and code bloat, since the property is platform-specific, but the JS is shared.

Ah that's fair, antialiasing on Android looks substantially different.

Summary:
…ansforms

On iOS, if a View is rotated with the a transform (e.g. <View style={{transform: {rotationZ: 5}}} />), the view has aliasing  (see screenshot). Same for a skew transformation. We don't have the issue on Android

This behavior had originally being fixed by this PR #1999

However a new PR was merge ( #19360 ) that broke this. I think it was made to add antialiasing during perspective transforms but seems to have broken the antialiasing when rotationZ transforms

This PR adds back the antialising during rotation transform , while keeping it during perspective transform.

## Changelog

I changed the allowsEdgeAntialiasing condition, making it "true" when the m12 or m21 is not 0. From this article https://medium.com/swlh/understanding-3d-matrix-transforms-with-pixijs-c76da3f8bd8 , I've understood that in all rotation or skew transformations, m12 or m21 is different than 0 . In the other transformation (e.g. scale or translate) it stays at 0.

Although, I'm not a matrix transformation expert so I may be mistaken

Pull Request resolved: #32920

Test Plan:
I've written several views with all rotateX/Y/Z , skewX,Y and perpective transformation. Before the PR some transformation was showing aliasing on iOS (e.g. top-left view in the screenshot, don't hesitate to zoom in the image if you don't see it) and with this PR it does not have anymore

Code I used to test

```
const commonStyle = {
  width: 150,
  height: 100,
  backgroundColor: "red",
  margin: 10,
}

const Test = () => (
  <View style={{ flexDirection: "row" }}>
    <View>
      <View
        style={[
          commonStyle,
          {
            transform: [{ rotateZ: "4deg" }],
          },
        ]}
      />

      <View
        style={[
          commonStyle,
          {
            transform: [{ rotateX: "30deg" }],
          },
        ]}
      />

      <View
        style={[
          commonStyle,
          {
            transform: [{ rotateY: "30deg" }],
          },
        ]}
      />
      <View
        style={[
          commonStyle,
          {
            transform: [{ rotateX: "30deg" }, { rotateY: "30deg" }, { rotateZ: "3deg" }],
          },
        ]}
      />
    </View>
