Summary:
Boost is officially hosted on SourceForge which has ab SSL problem that Gradle complains about and also it is sometimes unavailable.
I switched to using npm hosted (yarnpkg mirrored for performance) boost lib exactly the same as from Source Forge.
Other alternatives considered:
- CDN e.g. mirror.nienbo.com started responding with 4XX code when requested by Gradle
- File sharing like DropBox are not for mass anonymous downloads
- Github is not good for binary files and is throttled for anonymous raw file downloads
- S3 or similar. Requires amazon account for maintenance and does not expose semver API and other nice features that npm has
In the future I'd like to try Yarn as dependency management tool for bridge builds, this could be the first step.
**Test plan (required)**
- Circle (testing with caches cleaned)
- `./gradlew ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck` (check twice to make sure caches work)
- `REACT_NATIVE_BOOST_PATH=./bridge-dependencies/node_modules/boost-react-native-bundle ./

Summary:
Android has a text API called breakStrategy for controlling how paragraphs are broken up into lines. For example, some modes support automatically hyphenating words so a word can be split across lines while others do not.
One source of complexity is that Android provides different defaults for `breakStrategy` for `TextView` vs `EditText`. `TextView`'s default is `BREAK_STRATEGY_HIGH_QUALITY` while `EditText`'s default is `BREAK_STRATEGY_SIMPLE`.
In addition to exposing `textBreakStrategy`, this change also fixes a couple of rendering glitches with `Text` and `TextInput`. `TextView` and `EditText` have different default values for `breakStrategy` and `hyphenationFrequency` than `StaticLayout`. Consequently, we were using different parameters for measuring and rendering. Whenever measuring and rendering parameters are inconsistent, it can result in visual glitches such as the text taking up too much space or being clipped.
This change fixes these inconsistencies by setting `breakStrategy` and `hyphenat

Summary:
Currently React Native is opinionated in that the easiest approach is to extend ReactActivity. However to more easily allow integrating with existing application, we should allow some of the methods in ReactNativeHost to be public, and this is a very good first step.
* There is no harm in making this public from what I can tell.
* This allows `ReactNativeHost` to be more easily used outside of the `ReactActivity` and `ReactActivityDelegate` ecosystem. (A `ReactFragment` would be a good example)

Summary:
The goal of this pull request is to make it easier for contributors to run Android tests locally, specifically the unit tests and integration tests. I added a bunch of checks to the local testing scripts that will warn you if your environment is misconfigured, and tell you how to fix it. I also updated the testing docs, so that the regular "Testing" page should be a decent resource to point people to when you are telling them "hey this pull request needs a test." Just Android, though, I haven't gotten to the iOS parts yet.
I also disabled a couple tests that seemed quite flaky while running on a local machine, and don't seem to be providing much value. In particular, the `TestId` test just hangs on my emulator a lot and has been flaky on CI in the past, so I removed about half of its test cases to make the sample app smaller. The testMetions test appears to be dependent on screen size so I commented it out.

Summary:
Currently any React Native apps that target API 23 or greater will crash on the first initial debug/dev build due to the overlay permission.
Sadly there isn't a concrete "request permission" baked into the Marshmallow permission system.
However, we can launch the overlay screen without starting the react app and once its turned on start the app.

- https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10479 - Add the overlay permission information / Larger discussion around targeting API 23+
- Intent to Overlay permission goes directly to the app in question, rather then the general full listing of applications. This allows a developer who is not familiar with the system to easily toggle the overlay without getting confused.

Summary:
By default Android will put extra space above text to allow for upper-case accents or other ascenders. With some fonts, this can make text look slightly misaligned when centered vertically.
We have found that the effect is very noticeable with certain custom fonts on Android. On iOS the font aligns vertically as expected.
Android exposes a property `includeFontPadding` that will remove this extra padding if set to false. This PR exposes that to JS, and adds it to the documentation and UIExplorer.

Summary:
This PR fixes#11096.
I don't know enough the ReactAndroid's source code so I don't know if this is correct but I hope it is.
In a recent commit (d4b8ae7a8a), the `dispatchUpdates` method now returns a boolean to dispatch or not the `onLayout` event. This works well but if the content is unchanged, the line `nativeViewHierarchyOptimizer.handleUpdateLayout(this);` is never called. I don't know if it was intended but it was this which introduces my issue. I called this again even if the content didn't change. This was the behaviour before 0.38 so I guess I didn't break anything.

Summary:
Suppose that the user is scrolled to the bottom of a ScrollView. Next, the ScrollView's content is edited such that the height of the content changes and the current scroll position is larger than the new height of the content. Consequently, the user sees a blank ScrollView. As soon as the user interacts with the ScrollView, the ScrollView will jump to its max scroll position.
This change improves this scenario by ensuring that the user is never staring at a blank ScrollView when the ScrollView has content in it. It does this by moving the ScrollView to its max scroll position when the scroll position after an edit is larger than the max scroll position of the ScrollView.
Here are some pictures to illustrate how this PR improves the scenario described above:

Summary:
ReactAndroid/build.gradle downloads a number of ad-hoc dependencies from the internet such as boost, JSC headers, and folly. Having the build depend on the internet is problematic. For example, if the site hosting the JSC headers was to go down, then CI builds would start failing.
This change introduces the environment variable REACT_NATIVE_DEPENDENCIES which refers to a path. Developers can pre-download all of the ad-hoc dependencies into that path and then the build process will grab the dependencies from that local path rather than trying to download them from the internet. This solution is in the spirit of the existing REACT_NATIVE_BOOST_PATH hook.

Made modification to react-native code that reduces the communication channel overhead to ~50% of prior, in some cases, by caching the class-name of the java-script module/interface.
For me it reduced the run-time of the RCTDeviceEventEmitter.emit function from 1438ms to 715ms, over a period of 8 seconds in my Android app. My project requires many emit calls, as I'm transferring real-time EEG data from a Muse headband to my react-native UI to be graphed, so this optimization was very helpful in my case.

Summary:
The `FrescoModule` supports providing a custom image pipeline configuration. This module is created by `MainReactPackage` but `MainReactPackage` doesn't expose any way to customize the Fresco configuration. This change adds a parameter to `MainReactPackage`'s constructor so that the `FrescoModule`'s configuration can be customized by the app. A couple of design choices were made in this change:
- `MainReactPackage`'s new constructor parameter is a `MainPackageConfig`. Introducing `MainPackageConfig` enables `MainReactPackage` to nicely support new optional configuration options in the future. Imagine the alternative of each optional configuration being a separate parameter to the `MainReactPackage` constructor.
- `FrescoModule` exposes its default configuration as a builder object through the `getDefaultConfigBuilder` method. This enables app's to start with `FrescoModule`'s default configuration and then modify it.

When using text inputs inside a ScrollView with `keyboardShouldPersistTaps=false` (default behavior) tapping another text input dismisses the keyboard instead of keeping it open and focusing the new text input which I think is the better and expected behavior.

Summary:
This PR removes dependency to Jackson third-party library in Android React Native.
Looking at some older PRs that got merged, it seems like some work had already been done to move away from Jackson.
Anyway, there was only two classes left with a dependency on Jackson. I refactored the code to use android built-in `JsonReader` and `JsonWriter` classes instead.
Prep work was done in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10516 introducing a few unit tests around serialization, to make sure that refactoring around serialization would not break things.
All references to Jackson in build systems files (BUCK files & build.gradle) have also been removed now that no code depend anymore on this third-party library.
Motivation behind this work is that third-party dependencies in Android React Native can prove to be a pain when trying to integrate React Native components into an already existing large Android application (I know this is not the most common use case for react-native ... yet ;P), that might a

Summary:
On Android, if there is a small amount of space available around a text input (e.g. landscape orientation on a phone), Android may choose to have the user edit the text inside of a full screen text input mode. This behavior isn't always desirable. For example, if your app offers some UI controls for controlling the formatting of the text, you want the controls to be visible while the user is editing the text. This Android feature conflicts with that desired experience because the UI controls would be hidden while the text is being edited.
The `disableExtractUI` prop enables developers to choose whether or not Android's full screen text input editing mode is enabled. When this prop is true, Android's `IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI` flag is passed to the `setImeOptions` method.

Summary:
Virtual shadow nodes (e.g. text) don't use CSSNodes so we don't need to create them. This shows large savings in CSSNodes allocated, depending on the app.
This could be breaking if:
- You have virtual nodes that still set and get CSS properties. The setters now no-op for virtual nodes (I unfortunately couldn't remove them completely -- see the comment on LayoutShadowNode), but the getters will NPE. If you see these NPE's, you should almost definitely be using your own datastructure instead of a CSSNode as virtual nodes will not participate in the layout process (and the CSSNode is then behaving just as a POJO for you).
I do not anticipate this to be breaking for anyone, but am including breaking in the commit message since this is a change in API contract.
