Maria Hutt ab7a0ab050 refactor(react): update tab-bar requirement on tabs (#29868)
Issue number: N/A

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

As mentioned in this
[PR](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-docs/pull/3797), React
`IonTabs` requires `IonTabBar` do be a child, else it doesn't render and
throws an error.

Angular, JS, and Vue doesn't have this requirement.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

I didn't see any reason why React does not mimic the other frameworks.
In order to keep consistency, I've updated the React tabs. This would
allow `ion-tabs` and `ion-tab-bar` can be used as standalone elements as
mentioned in the [docs](https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/tabs).

- React follows the same structure as the other frameworks: `IonTabs`
doesn't require `IonTabBar` to be a child to render.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No
