Summary: We're focusing the React Native core on a set of high quality essential components and will be removing any modules that do not belong in that set. If you're currently using AdSuppportIOS, it will remain available in the react-native-deprecated-modules archive. There's also alternative implementations such as https://github.com/ptomasroos/react-native-idfa/.

Summary:
It's very important in complex UIs to be able to apply alpha channel-based masks to arbitrary content. Common use cases include adding gradient masks at the top or bottom of scroll views, creating masked text effects, feathering images, and generally just masking views while still allowing transparency of those views.
The original motivation for creating this component stemmed from work on `react-navigation`. As I tried to mimic behavior in the native iOS header, I needed to be able to achieve the effect pictured here (this is a screenshot from a native iOS application):
In this image, there are two masks:
- A mask on the back button chevron
- A gradient mask on the right button
In addition, the underlying view in the navigation bar is intended to be a UIBlurView. Thus, alpha masking is the only way to achieve this effect.
Behind the scenes, the `maskView` property on `UIView` is used. This is a shortcut to setting the mask on the CALayer directly.
This gives us the ability to mask any view with any other view. While building this component (and testing in the context of an Expo app), I was able to use a `GLView` (a view that renders an OpenGL context) to mask a `Video` component!
I chose to implement this only on iOS right now, as the Android implementation is a) significantly more complicated and b) will most likely not be as performant (especially when trying to mask more complex views).
Review the `<MaskedViewIOS>` section in the RNTester app, observe that views are masked appropriately.

Summary:
This only affects the website when it is hosted locally using express. The current version of the website is annoyingly sluggish, as the whole docs structure is parsed on each request.
In this PR, we store the result of extracting the Markdown sources in memory, significantly speeding up page loads. We also delay the extraction of docs until a request is made that would require them (e.g. anything that hits `/react-native/docs/*`).
There is still a 8 second delay when the docs are first visited, as expected. This can be improved in a later PR.
Any changes to the docs structure may require a server restart to take effect. This is rare enough that I don't think it is a blocker. This PR significantly speeds up first page load times on the homepage and any non-docs site, and speeds up subsequent page loads on Docs. This will make for a better web development experience.
Extracting the docs on each request takes around 8 seconds. Storing these in memory allows us to virtuall

Summary:
Button is an important component to help the community get onboarded with RN quickly, so the first few minutes of a developer's experience is not spent formatting a simple button component.
In my opinion, `<Button />` should be seen as a "lowest common demoniator" component, rather than "the one button to rule them all". In other words, we should only support features in Button that will work on any platform. We should encourage people to fork Button if they need to add specific features to it, rather than trying to twist and bloat this component until it supports everything.
These platform imitations may not have the perfect constants just yet, but they are good enough to make a user feel at home in the app, without any modification. The community can help tweak the final formatting to make them look just right- PRs are welcome!

Summary:
(I changed a ton from when I previously submitted this PR so please take another look if you already did.)
PROBLEM: the no-longer-maintained `esprima-fb` parser does not support class properties, leading our website docgen to die if we use class properties, which we're gonna do real soon now
SOLUTION: use `flow-parser` instead, which the flow team is maintaining including all the fancy-pants ES? stuff that FB uses internally.
This removes the `esprima-fb` parser from jsdocs and replaces it with `flow-parser`. It's almost the same, I checked by diffing all the parser json output and it only had a few irrelevant differences. I had to add a file of constants so that we could remove esprima-fb altogether, too.
This also adds a couple unit tests, so that we can test that jsDocs works programmatically. They don't run if you run the regular RN tests, you have to run `npm test` from the `/website/` subdirectory.

Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
The Android permissions native module was open sourced recently (b7352b4667) but it is currently undocumented and requires directly interfacing with the native module.
This provides a JS wrapper to make it easier to use the permissions module and documents it.
This could be cleaner if the native code used Promise blocks instead of callbacks, but I didn't want to change the native code without a thumbs up since I'm guessing this is used in one of facebook's apps. Happy to do that if it makes sense
I also tried to make the `PERMISSIONS` object a class property - it works in the actual code but not in the documentation (think it's a jsdocs problem), so decided to initialize in the constructor.
**Test plan (required)**
If the API looks good, I will change the UIExplorer example to use this.

Summary:
We had rendering support for prev links, but we never had any previous links in our metadata. Only next links. This adds that support to both Guides and APIs.
**For guides**: `previous` is manually inserted into the metadata of the actual markdown file.
**For APIs/Components**: `previous` is established via code within `extractDocs.js`
> This isn't totally perfect. For example, the transition from the last guide to the first API/component has a next link from the guide, but not a previous link from the API since the way you get the previous links are different from guides and APIs. But this gets us really close.

Summary:
As part of improving the API and Component reference docs #8154 this pull request adds the following:
- jsdoc support for API docs. See the AlertIOS changes as an example.
- type definitions support and added to both API and Component docs. This is supported via react-docgen and jsdoc.
- better formatting of method properties (now shown in a table).
FYI, API and Component docs were previously generated in two different ways. Components were using react-docgen and that basically remains as-is. APIs were using custom parsing code and that's been switched to use a jsdoc parser + react-docgen as an option for typedefs (it could also use the jsdoc parser).
Two docs have been updated to showcase how we'd like the new docs to look:
- AlertIOS (API): showing method parameters, examples, typedefs, more details overall.
- Statusbar (Component): showing method parameters, typedefs, more details overall.
**Note**: To convert new API docs to use the new format, add `jsdoc` to the initial file comment. C

Summary:
The API for `ActivityIndiatorIOS` and `ProgressBarAndroid` is very similar and can be merged in a cross platform component that displays a circular indeterminate loading indicator.
This deprecates `ActivityIndiatorIOS` and non-horizontal `ProgressBarAndroid` in favor of this new component.
**Test plan (required)**
Tested with the ActivityIndicator example in UIExplorer on android and ios. Also made sure that `ActivityIndicatorIOS` still works and displays a deprecation warning. Also tested that `ProgressBarAndroid` with `indeterminate == true` and `styleAttr != 'Horizontal'` displays a deprecation warning.
