Summary:
Turns out, even after discussion that was had in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/5294#issuecomment-174397103, we really do need this transform.
I've just included it in the preset...let me know if you all would rather publish to npm.
The actual reason why this is necessary is because in the latest sync from FB, fbjs was updated to use the `Symbol.iterator` express in it's isEmpty function: 064a484e18
We use this in RN in the ListView...and this change (once #5084 is merged) will cause ListView to break on older JSC context's.
This resolves that, and is probably something we should have had all along.

Summary:
Rather than specifying Babel plugins in the `.babelrc` packaged with react-native, leverage a Babel preset to define the plugins (https://github.com/exponentjs/babel-preset-react-native).
This allows for a much better user experience for those who want (or need) to override options in their project's `.babelrc`.
Prior to this PR, if a user wanted to use a custom babel-plugin (or a custom set of babel plugins), they'd have either 1) manually override the `.babelrc` in the react-packager directory (or fork RN), or 2) specify a custom transformer to use when running the packager that loaded their own `.babelrc`. Note - the custom transformer was necessary because without it, RN's `.babelrc` options would supersede the options defined in the project's `.babelrc`...potentially causing issues with plugin ordering.
This PR makes the transformer check for the existence of a project-level `.babelrc`, and if it it's there, it _doesn't_ use the react-native `.babelrc`. This prevents any oddities with Babel plug
