Summary:
public
Most of the time - especially during app startup - when we call UIManager.manageChildren(), we are actually just adding the first set of children to a newly created view.
This case is already optimized for in the JS code, by memoizing index arrays at various sizes, but this is not especially efficient since it is still sending an array of indices with each call that could be easily inferred on the native side instead.
I've added a hybrid native/JS optimization that improves the performance for this case. It's not a huge win in terms of time saved, but benchmarks show improvements in the ~1% range for several of the app startup metrics.

Summary: public
RCTUIManager is a public module with several useful methods, however, unlike most such modules, it does not have a JS wrapper that would allow it to be required directly.
Besides making it more cumbersome to use, this also makes it impossible to modify the UIManager API, or smooth over differences between platforms in the JS layer without breaking all of the call sites.
This diff adds a simple JS wrapper file for the UIManager module to make it easier to work with.

Summary: public
We're seeing related crashes. The diff has no tests, the perf tests weren't conclusive, and the person who'd be supporting it no longer is available to work on it. We can try this again later in a less rushed manner with proper perf testing.

Summary: public
Native view recycling implementation based on limited pools of views.
In this diff I introduced new UIManager method: dropViews. Instead of removing views from tag->view maps when they are detached we keep them there until we get a call to dropViews with the appropriate tag. JS may keep a pool of object and selectively decide not to enqueue drop for certain views. Then instead of removing those views it may decide to reuse tag that has been previously allocated for a view that is no longer in use.
Special handling is required for layout-only nodes as they only can transition from layout-only to non-layout-only (reverse transition hasn't been implemented). Because of that we'd loose benefits of view flattening if we decide to recycle existing non-layout-only view as a layout-only one.
This diff provides only a simple and manual method for configuring pools by calling `ReactNativeViewPool.configure` with a dict from native view name to the view count. Note that we may not want recycle all the views (e.g. when we render mapview we don't want to keep it in memory after it's detached)

Summary: Move the ViewAttributes and StyleAttributes configuration into the
Components library since they're coupled and change with the
native component configuration.
This also decouples StyleAttributes from the reconciler by adding it
to the ReactViewAttributes.
To do that, I refactored the property diffing to allow for recursive
configurations. Now an attribute configuration can be a nested object,
a custom configuration (diff/process) or true.
The requireNativeComponent path incorrectly gets its attributes set up
on the root validAttributes instead of the nested style object.
So I also have to add the nested form. Effectively these currently allow
these attributes on props or nested.

Summary: Concolidate the creation of the "update payload" into
ReactNativeAttributePayload which now has a create
and a diff version. The create version can be used by
both mountComponent and setNativeProps. This means that
diffRawProperties moves into ReactNativeAttributePayload.
Instead of storing previousFlattenedStyle as memoized
state in the component tree, I recalculate it every
time. This allows better use of the generational GC.
However, it is still probably a fairly expensive
technique so I will follow it up with a diff that
walks both nested array trees to do the diffing in a
follow up.
This is the first diff of several steps.
