[macOS] Downgrade react-native-worklets

[m-bert]

Description

#4407 stack upgraded Worklets to 0.9. The problem is that Worklets 0.9 require Reanimated 4.4 or newer. These Rea versions do not support RN 0.81, which is still the latest release of react-native-macos. We decided to downgrade worklets instead of trying to revive RN Macos.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the macos-example workspace to use an older react-native-worklets release to remain compatible with react-native-macos / RN 0.81 constraints (since newer Worklets require newer Reanimated versions that don’t support RN 0.81 on macOS).

Changes:

• Downgrade react-native-worklets in apps/macos-example from the patched 0.9.1 to 0.8.1.
• Refresh CocoaPods lockfile for the macOS example to reflect the dependency graph after the downgrade (including the resolved Reanimated/Worklets pods).
