test(expo): archive native-auth-driven flows to flows/native-side/

Move the flows whose primary act is driving the native auth/profile UI
(email-password, sign-in-sign-out-sign-in, sign-out-from-profile, google-sso,
open-profile-modal) to flows/native-side/, excluded from the runners + CI the
same way flows/common/ is. They duplicate clerk-ios/clerk-android native
coverage and were the main source of flakiness.

The Expo automated suite now targets only bridge/config concerns: mount
(cold-launch), theming light+dark (config plugin), token-cache persistence,
and the Android AuthView bridge regression. See flows/native-side/README.md.

+# native-side flows (archived — not run by the Expo e2e suite)
+
+These Maestro flows are **intentionally excluded** from the `@clerk/expo` e2e
+run. The runners (`run-ios.sh`, `run-android.sh`, `run-regressions.sh`) and the
+CI workflow (`.github/workflows/mobile-e2e.yml`) skip `flows/native-side/*` the
+same way they skip `flows/common/*`.
+
+## Why
+
+The Expo e2e suite's job is the **bridge / integration layer** — the parts the
+native SDKs can't see: config-plugin codegen (theming), native↔JS event
+plumbing, view-factory mounting, and token-cache persistence.
+
+The flows in here are primarily **exercising the native auth/profile UI** —
+driving the sign-in form to completion, the sign-in→sign-out→sign-in cycle,
+signing out from inside the native profile modal, the native OAuth button, and
+opening the native profile modal. That behavior is owned and tested by the
+native SDK suites (clerk-ios / clerk-android). Running them here duplicated that
+coverage and was the main source of flakiness (they lean hardest on native UI
+timing).
+
+They're kept (not deleted) for reference and as a starting point if any of this
+coverage needs to be ported to the native repos.
+
+## What still runs in the Expo suite
+
+- `smoke/cold-launch-no-flash` — bridge mounts the AuthView (no white flash)
+- `theming/custom-theme-applied` + `theming/dark-mode-applied` — config plugin
+  delivers the theme to the rendered native component
+- `session/persists-across-restart` — token-cache (expo-secure-store) rehydrates
+  the session across a cold restart (sign-in here is setup, not the assertion)
+- `sign-in/get-help-loop-regression` — Android `<AuthView>` bridge nav regression
