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)
