Summary:
**Motivation**
Whenever a user changes the system font size to its maximum allowable setting, React Native apps that allow font scaling can become unusable because the text gets too big. Experimenting with a native app like iMessage on iOS, the font size used for non-body text (e.g. header, navigational elements) is capped while the body text (e.g. text in the message bubbles) is allowed to grow.
This PR introduces a new prop on `<Text>` and `<TextInput>` called `maxFontSizeMultiplier`. This enables devs to set the maximum allowed text scale factor on a Text/TextInput. The default is 0 which means no limit.
Another PR will add this feature to Android.
**Test Plan**
I created a test app which utilizes all categories of values of `maxFontSizeMultiplier`:
- `undefined`: inherit from parent
- `0`: no limit
- `1`, `1.2`: fixed limits
I tried this with `Text`, `TextInput` with `value`, and `TextInput` with children. For `Text`, I also verified that nesting works properly (if a child `Text` doesn't specify `maxFontSizeMultiplier`, it inherits it from its parent).
Lastly, we've been using a version of this in Skype for several months.
**Release Notes**
[GENERAL] [ENHANCEMENT] [Text/TextInput] - Added maxFontSizeMultiplier prop to prevent some text from getting unusably large as user increases OS's font scale setting (iOS)

Summary:
This PR removes the need for having the `providesModule` tags in all the modules in the repository.
It configures Flow, Jest and Metro to get the module names from the filenames (`Libraries/Animated/src/nodes/AnimatedInterpolation.js` => `AnimatedInterpolation`)
* Checked the Flow configuration by running flow on the project root (no errors):
```
yarn flow
```
* Checked the Jest configuration by running the tests with a clean cache:
```
yarn jest --clearCache && yarn test
```
* Checked the Metro configuration by starting the server with a clean cache and requesting some bundles:
```
yarn run start --reset-cache
curl 'localhost:8081/IntegrationTests/AccessibilityManagerTest.bundle?platform=android'
curl 'localhost:8081/Libraries/Alert/Alert.bundle?platform=ios'
```
[INTERNAL] [FEATURE] [All] - Removed providesModule from all modules and configured tools.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/18995
