Summary:
**Motivation**
In iOS you cannot dismiss alerts by clicking outside of their box, while on Android you can. This can create some inconsistency if you want to have identical behavior on both platforms. This change makes it possible for Android apps to have irremovable/required alert boxes just like in iOS.
This adds an additional parameter to the Alert method. The way to use it is by providing an object with the cancelable property. The cancelable property accepts a boolean value.
This utilizes the Android DialogFragment method [setCancelable](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DialogFragment.html#setCancelable(boolean))
**Usage example**
```js
Alert.alert(
'Alert Title',
null,
[
{text: 'OK', onPress: () => console.log('OK Pressed!')},
],
{
cancelable: false
}
);
```
**Test plan (required)**
I added an additional alert to the UIExplorer project where it can be tested. I also added a part in the Dialog Module test to make sure setting canc

Summary:
Ok, so this started as fixing #5273 but ended up getting a little more complicated. 😄
Currently, AlertIOS has the following API:
* `alert(title, message, buttons, type)`
* `prompt(title, defaultValue, buttons, callback)`
I've changed the API to look like the following:
* `alert(title, message, callbackOrButtons)`
* `prompt(title, message, callbackOrButtons, type, defaultValue)`
I know that breaking changes are a big deal, but I find the current alert API to be fairly inconsistent and unnecessarily confusing. I'll try to justify my changes one by one:
1. Currently `type` is an optional parameter of `alert`. However, the only reason to change the alert type from the default is in order to create one of the input dialogs (text, password or username/password). So we're in a weird state where if you want a normal text input, you use `prompt`, but if you want a password input you use `alert` with the 'secure-text' type. I've moved `type` to `prompt` so all text input is now done with `pro

Summary:

The `DialogModule` requires `android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager` which means
every app that wants to use Dialogs would need to have its Activity extend the legacy
`android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity`.
This diff makes the `DialogModule` work with both the Support `FragmentManager`
(for AdsManager & potentially other fb apps) and the `android.app.FragmentManager`
(for new apps with no legacy dependencies).
Also wrap the native module in the same `Alert` API that we have on iOS and provide
a cross-platform example. In my opinion the iOS Alert API is quite nice and easy to use.
We still keep `AlertIOS` around because of its `prompt` function which is iOS-specific
and also for backwards compatibility.
