[Basic] `ref` as a prop and the elimination of `forwardRef`

[nspaeth]

What cheatsheet is this about? (if applicable)
Basic cheatsheet -> forwardRef/createRef

What's your issue or idea?

React 19 introduces ref as a prop, with the future goal of eliminating forwardRef. Announcement

The ref pages should be updated to reflect this.

Thanks for adding coverage of React 19's ref as a prop, that's a valuable addition to the cheatsheet.
I've created a comprehensive update to better serve TypeScript developers.

The updated version includes:

• Proper TypeScript patterns: Two well-typed approaches (ComponentPropsWithRef<> inheritance vs explicit ref typing) with complete import statements and type annotations
• Clear version guidance: React 19+ patterns are now prominently featured first, with legacy approaches clearly marked for pre-19 versions
• Improved structure: Better organization with clearer headings, enhanced generic components section, and streamlined content flow
• Enhanced cross-references: Updated ComponentProps documentation with version-specific guidance and proper linking between related concepts
• Code quality improvements: Fixed event handlers and modernized examples throughout

This ensures developers get the most appropriate patterns for their React version while maintaining comprehensive coverage for all use cases.

Hope these changes work well for the project.
