React 18 Enhancements: Refactor defaultProps to default function parameters

[tay1orjones]

React 18.3 will introduce a deprecation of defaultProps. Components will need to move off defaultProps and instead use default function parameters.

Additionally, we'll need to ensure that default values are static #10777 - this mostly includes function props

We probably should wait to tackle this until React 18.3 lands to see if the react team has additional recommendations for this work and/or a codemod available to automate this refactor.

// TODO: provide code example

Current getting this error on UIShell.Content.js. If someone can share a sample of the refactor, I can start banging the rest out.

@tuccitj that would be great if you want to start working on this. One example of a component that has been converted is IconSwitch. These lines specifically. For example, in UIShell/Content you'd remove

Content.defaultProps = {
  tagName: 'main',
};

and instead, make it a default function parameter

const Content = ({
  className: customClassName,
  children,
  tagName = 'main',
  ...rest
}) => {

For functions, you';d do something like this:

const noopFn = () => {};

const Content = ({
    onClick = noopFn,
     ...
}) => {
