Summary:
Sometimes is handy to check if a React node is a descendant of another node or not. For instance, I want to check if the focused `TextInput` is descendant of an specific `ScrollView`:
```js
const currentlyFocusedField = TextInput.State.currentlyFocusedField()
UIManager.viewIsAncestorOf(
currentlyFocusedField,
this.getInnerViewNode(),
(isAncestor) => {
if (isAncestor) {
console.log('The focused field is a descendant of this ScrollView!')
}
}
)
```
This function uses the same strategy as the `measureLayout` method to check if one node is an ancestor of other node. As the `measureLayout` method, this is performed outside the main thread.
By now I've only implemented the iOS version and its tests, but if this function is going to be merged I'll implement the Android version too. I have objc experience but no Java or Android, so I prefer to validate this functionality before jumping into developing the Android part.

Summary:It was hard to understand which parts of the shadowview API are designed to be called only on the root view, and which were applicable to any view.
This diff extracts rootview-specific logic out into a new RCTRootShadowView class.

Summary:The UICollectionView example is actually my use-case, which is discussed in a
bit more detail [here](https://github.com/alloy/ReactNativeExperiments/issues/2).
----
This is useful when wrapping native iOS components that determine their
own suggested size and which would be too hard/unnecessary to replicate
in the shadow view. For instance a `UICollectionView` that after layout
will update its `contentSize`, which could be used to suggest a size to
the shadow view.
The reason for adding it to -[RCTShadowView setFrame:] is mainly so it
can be used via the existing -[RCTUIManager setFrame:forView:] API and
because it might not be a feature you want to expose too prominently.
An origin of `{ NAN, NAN }` is used as a sentinel to indicate that the
frame should be used as a size suggestion. The size portion of the rect
may contain a `NAN` to skip that dimension or a suggested value for the
dimension which will be used if no explicit styling has been assigned.

Summary: public
UIExplorer tests were broken due to a refactor that didn't update the RCTShadowViewTests + an off-by-one error in the logic for exporting async methods.
