Enable access to the developer menu through NativeModules.DevMenu from within the RNW app context

[SounD120]

Hello, I am from React Native Tools VS Code extension developement team. In the extension we have special command palette commands to reload the attached app and to show React Native Developer Menu in it. In RN Android we do that via adb commands, in iRN OS we do that via require('NativeModules').DevMenu.show() and require('NativeModules').DevMenu.reload() during debugging, but in React Native for Windows 0.60.0-vnext.105 there is no DevMenu in the NativeModules list.

So we'd like to ask if the team plans to implement access to the DevMenu from the NativeModules package, or maybe there are some other alternatives for programmatically accessing Developer Menu during debugging?

@SounD120 Thanks for looking into this! We do support the developer menu but it looks like we missed the native module access. We'll fill this gap.

I'd kind of expect this functionality in VSCode to be implemented with the metro websocket, rather than directly calling into the NativeModule in the app's JS Context...

I give some code pointers on how that works in this issue on the react-native-mac repo: microsoft/react-native-macos#310
