Summary: public
The `bridge.modules` dictionary provides access to all native modules, but this API requires that every module is initialized in advance so that any module can be accessed.
This diff introduces a better API that will allow modules to be initialized lazily as they are needed, and deprecates `bridge.modules` (modules that use it will still work, but should be rewritten to use `bridge.moduleClasses` or `-[bridge moduleForName/Class:` instead.
The rules are now as follows:
* Any module that overrides `init` or `setBridge:` will be initialized on the main thread when the bridge is created
* Any module that implements `constantsToExport:` will be initialized later when the config is exported (the module itself will be initialized on a background queue, but `constantsToExport:` will still be called on the main thread.
* All other modules will be initialized lazily when a method is first called on them.
These rules may seem slightly arcane, but they have the advantage of not violating any assumptions that may have been made by existing code - any module written under the original assumption that it would be initialized synchronously on the main thread when the bridge is created should still function exactly the same, but modules that avoid overriding `init` or `setBridge:` will now be loaded lazily.
I've rewritten most of the standard modules to take advantage of this new lazy loading, with the following results:
Out of the 65 modules included in UIExplorer:
* 16 are initialized on the main thread when the bridge is created
* A further 8 are initialized when the config is exported to JS
* The remaining 41 will be initialized lazily on-demand

Summary: public
Added lightweight genarics annotations to make the code more readable and help the compiler catch bugs.
Fixed some type bugs and improved bridge validation in a few places.

Summary: public
Use arrays instead of dictionaries for encoding module method information.
This further reduces UIExplorer startup JSON from 16104 bytes to 14119 (12% reduction)

Summary:
Occasionally people create RCTBridgeModule subclasses or base classes that are not intended to be accessed from JS, and so they don't export them. This was previously flagged as an error by the system. I've now downgraded this error to a warning at startup, and deferred the redbox error until the module is directly accessed by native or JS code.
Summary:
@public
The info about bridge modules (such as id, name, queue, methods...) was spread
across arrays & dictionaries on the bridge, move it into a specific class.
It also removes a lot of information that was statically cached, and now have
the same lifecycle of the bridge.
Also moved RCTModuleMethod, RCTFrameUpdate and RCTBatchedBridge into it's own
files, for organization sake.
NOTE: This diff seems huge, but most of it was just moving code :)
Test Plan:
Tested UIExplorer & UIExplorer tests, Catalyst, MAdMan and Groups. Everything
looks fine.
