Summary:
**Motivation**
Whenever a user changes the system font size to its maximum allowable setting, React Native apps that allow font scaling can become unusable because the text gets too big. Experimenting with a native app like iMessage on iOS, the font size used for non-body text (e.g. header, navigational elements) is capped while the body text (e.g. text in the message bubbles) is allowed to grow.
This PR introduces a new prop on `<Text>` and `<TextInput>` called `maxFontSizeMultiplier`. This enables devs to set the maximum allowed text scale factor on a Text/TextInput. The default is 0 which means no limit.
Another PR will add this feature to Android.
**Test Plan**
I created a test app which utilizes all categories of values of `maxFontSizeMultiplier`:
- `undefined`: inherit from parent
- `0`: no limit
- `1`, `1.2`: fixed limits
I tried this with `Text`, `TextInput` with `value`, and `TextInput` with children. For `Text`, I also verified that nesting works properly (if a child `Text` doesn't specify `maxFontSizeMultiplier`, it inherits it from its parent).
Lastly, we've been using a version of this in Skype for several months.
**Release Notes**
[GENERAL] [ENHANCEMENT] [Text/TextInput] - Added maxFontSizeMultiplier prop to prevent some text from getting unusably large as user increases OS's font scale setting (iOS)

Summary:
Issue [#2088](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2088).
The basic desire is to have a declarative mechanism to transform text content to uppercase or lowercase or titlecase ("capitalized").
My test plan involves having added a test-case to the RNTester app within the `<Text>` component area. I then manually verified that the rendered content met my expectation.
Here is the markup that exercises my enhancement:
```
<View>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'uppercase'}}>
This text should be uppercased.
</Text>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'lowercase'}}>
This TEXT SHOULD be lowercased.
</Text>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
This text should be CAPITALIZED.
</Text>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
Mixed:{' '}
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'uppercase'}}>
uppercase{' '}
</Text>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'lowercase'}}>
LoWeRcAsE{' '}
</Text>
<Text style={{ textTransform: 'capitalize'}}>
capitalize each word
</Text>
</Text>
</View>
```
And here is a screenshot of the result:

On iOS, when the parent Text contains the `lineHeight` style prop, and the children are also Text components they don't inherit the lineHeight prop.
This is for **iOS** only.
Create a react-native project with React Native 0.54.0 or 0.54.1 and change the app to:
```js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={{ fontWeight: 'bold', lineHeight: 40 }}>
<Text style={{ color: 'orange' }}>I am bold and orange, </Text>
<Text style={{ color: 'red' }}>I am bold and red, </Text>
<Text style={{ color: 'blue' }}>I am bold and blue, </Text>
<Text style={{ color: 'purple' }}>I am bold and purple, </Text>
<Text style={{ color: 'yellow' }}>I am bold and yellow, </Text>
<Text style={{ color: 'pink' }}>I am bold and pink</Text>
</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
backgroundColor: 'black',
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
padding: 50,
},
});
```
It displays:

Summary:
This is a complete rewrite of RCTText, the part of React Native which manages Text and TextInput components.
Key points:
* It's understandable now. It follows a simple architectural pattern, and it's easy to debug and iterate. Text flow layout is a first-class citizen in React Native layout system now, not just a wired special case. It also brings entirely new possibilities such as nested interleaving <Text> and <View> components.
* All <Text>-specific APIs were removed from UIManager and co (it's about ~16 public methods which were used exclusively only by <Text>).
* It relies on new Yoga measurement/cloning API and on-dirty handler. So, it removes built-in dirty propagation subsystem from RN completely.
* It caches string fragments properly and granularly on a per-node basis which makes updating text-containing components more performant.
* It does not instantiate UIView for virtual components which reduces memory utilization.
* It drastically improves <TextInput> capabilities (e.g. rich text inside single line <TextInput> is now supported).
