Summary:
After a fair bit of use, we have concluded that the `ItemComponent` mechanism is not worth the
hassle. Flow has trouble type checking it thoroughly, requiring an 'item' prop is annoying, and it
is very common to need to capture `this` anyway, e.g. for an `onPress` handler. A common pattern was
something like:
_renderItem = ({item}) => <MyItem foo={item.foo} onPress={() => this._onPress(item)} />};
...
ItemComponent={this._renderItem}
which wouldn't flow check the props and doesn't benefit from reusing components.
If we find some specific patterns that would benefit from the `ItemComponent` pattern, we can create
a new component that provides that API and wraps `FlatList` under the hood.
I'm going to do `SectionList` in a stacked diff.

Summary: `Viewable` is a weird name - I think `ViewToken` is more clear? Also easier to grep for.

Summary:
- Properly inherit flow types from base components, including `defaultProps`
- template-ify the `Item` type as it flows from the `data` prop into `ItemComponent`
Note that for `SectionList` is is harder to do the `Item` typing because each section in the
`sections` array can have a different `Item` type, plus all the optional overrides...not sure how to
tackle that.

Summary: Makes it easy to render separators between sections, as opposed to between items.

Summary:
Simple API takes structured `sections` prop instead of `data` array. `sections` is an array of
`Section` objects, each of which has a `key` and an `itemData` array which is analogous to a
`FlatList` `data` prop, plus optional props like `ItemComponent` that can be overridden on a
per-section level, allowing heterogeneous section item rendering via clean composition.
Flattens the sections data and renders with VirtualizedList under the hood. Doesn't support
sticky headers yet.
