Summary:
Modules which call JS methods directly, or use `sendDeviceEventWithName:`, can trigger effects in JS without ever being referenced from the JS code. This breaks some assumptions in my earlier diff about when modules can be lazily loaded.
Pending a better solution, I've put explicit `init` methods in these modules to ensure they are eagerly initialized (the downside to this is that they'll still be initialized even if they are never used).

Summary:
Now that we support initializing the bridge off the main thread, some of the assumptions in the bridge setup process are no longer safe.
In particular we were assuming that the JS executor and injected modules could always be synchronously initialized within bridge init, but that is only safe if those modules don't need to be set up on the main thread.
The setup for those modules was sync-dispatching to the main thread if bridge init happened on a background thread, and this lead to a deadlock under certain circumstances.

The implementation of the `methodQueue` lazy initializer in `RCTModuleData` could result in the queue being set twice, because calling `methodQueue` for a module that hasn't been instantiated would call `RCTModuleData.instance` to create the module, which itself calls `methodQueue`.
It's not clear if this was causing a bug, but it may be related to an occasional bug where the `RCTViewManager.methodQueue` returns nil.

Summary:

Thanks to the new lazy initialization system for modules, `RCTDidCreateNativeModules` no longer does what the name implies.
Previously, `RCTDidCreateNativeModules` was fired after all native modules had been initialized. Now, it simply fires each time the bridge is reloaded. Modules are created on demand when they are needed, so most of the assumptions about when `RCTDidCreateNativeModules` will fire are now incorrect.
This diff deprecates `RCTDidCreateNativeModules`, and adds a new notification, `RCTDidInitializeModuleNotification`, which fires each time a module a new module is instantiated.
If you need to access a module at any time you can just call `-[bridge moduleForClass:]` and the module will be instantiated on demand. If you want to access a module *only* after it has already been instantiated, you can use the `RCTDidInitializeModuleNotification` notification.

since the `RCTBatchedBridge` interface is never exposed. That was leading to a

Summary:
A component can be backed by native "node" that can change its internal state, which would result in a new UI after the next layout. Since js has no way of knowing that this has happened it wouldn't trigger a layout if nothing in js world has changed. Therefore we need a way how to trigger layout from native code.
This diff does it by adding methods `layoutIfNeeded` on the uimanager and `isBatchActive` on the bridge.
When `layoutIfNeeded` is called it checks whether a batch is in progress. If it is we do nothing, since at it's end layout happens. If a batch is not in progress we immidiately do layout.
I went with the easiest way how to implement this - `isBatchActive` is a public method on the bridge. It's not ideal, but consistent with other methods for modules.

Summary:
The JavaScript ecosystem doesn't have the notion of a built-in native module loader. Even Node is decoupled from its module loader. The module loader system is just JS that runs on top of the global `process` object which has all the built-in goodies.
Additionally there is no such thing as a global require. That is something unique to our providesModule system. In other module systems such as node, every require is contextual. Even registered npm names are localized by version.
The only global namespace that is accessible to the host environment is the global object. Normally module systems attaches itself onto the hooks provided by the host environment on the global object.
Currently, we have two forms of dispatch that reaches directly into the module system. executeJSCall which reaches directly into require. Everything now calls through the BatchedBridge module (except one RCTLog edge case that I will fix). I propose that the executors calls directly onto `BatchedBridge` through an instance on the global so that everything is guaranteed to go through it. It becomes the main communication hub.
I also propose that we drop the dynamic requires inside of MessageQueue/BatchBridge and instead have the modules register themselves with the bridge.
executeJSCall was originally modeled after the XHP equivalent. The XHP equivalent was designed that way because the act of doing the call was the thing that defined a dependency on the module from the page. However, that is not how React Native works.
The JS side is driving the dependencies by virtue of requiring new modules and frameworks and the existence of dependencies is driven by the JS side, so this design doesn't make as much sense.
The main driver for this is to be able to introduce a new module system like Prepack's module system. However, it also unlocks the possibility to do dead module elimination even in our current module system. It is currently not possible because we don't know which module might be called from native.
Since the module system now becomes decoupled we could publish all our providesModule modules as npm/CommonJS modules using a rewrite script. That's what React Core does.
That way people could use any CommonJS bundler such as Webpack, Closure Compiler, Rollup or some new innovation to create a JS bundle.
This diff expands the executeJSCalls to the BatchedBridge's three individual pieces to make them first class instead of being dynamic. This removes one layer of abstraction. Hopefully we can also remove more of the things that register themselves with the BatchedBridge (various EventEmitters) and instead have everything go through the public protocol. ReactMethod/RCT_EXPORT_METHOD.

Summary:

Currently, we wait to invoke `-flushUIBlocks` until the JavaScript batch to native has completed. This means we may be waiting an unnecessarily long time to perform view hierarchy changes and prop changes.
By instead invoking this after each chunk of enqueued UI blocks, we can perform some updates more eagerly, increasing our utilization of the main thread while splitting up the amount of time we spend running upon it.
This shouldn't affect layout, which is still tied to `-batchDidComplete`, so any visual inconsistencies should be limited to prop changes, which seems acceptable for the dramatic improvement in performance.

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
