Summary:
Hey there :)
Please let me know if the name `ListEmptyComponent` should be changed. I also thought about `ListNoItemsComponent`. Or maybe `ListPlaceholderComponent`?
- [x] Explain the **motivation** for making this change.
- [x] Provide a **test plan** demonstrating that the code is solid.
- [x] Match the **code formatting** of the rest of the codebase.
- [x] Target the `master` branch, NOT a "stable" branch.
In a FlatList, I wanted to show some placeholder when my data is empty (while keeping eventual Header/Footer/RefreshControl).
A way around this issue would be to do something like adding a `ListHeaderComponent` that checks if the list is empty, like so:
```js
ListHeaderComponent={() => (!data.length ? <Text style={styles.noDataText}>No data found</Text> : null)}
```
But I felt it was not easily readable as soon as you have an actual header.
This PR adds a `ListEmptyComponent` that is rendered when the list is empty.
I added tests for VirtualizedList, FlatList and SectionList and ran `yarn test -- -u`. I then checked that the snapshots changed like I wanted.
I also tested this against one of my project, though I had to manually add my changes because the project is on RN 0.43.
Here are the docs screenshots:

Summary:
The main reason to use **VirtualizedList** is to set the `getItem` and `getItemCount` props, so having default values for these props makes things error prone.
* In **VirtualizedList**, changed the `getItem` and `getItemCount` props from optional to required, and removed default values.
* Ensured that implementing classes **FlatList** and **SectionVirtualizedList** are always passing these props.
* Updated VirtualizedList-test.js accordingly.

Summary:
**Bug Description**
The FlatList component receives content items via the data prop, and renders an initial number of items on the app's view. When a user scrolls to the end of the list, the component will append and render more available items at the end of the list. There was a bug where when the content was filtered, there were more available items but the component did not append/render them. This is due to the current appending/rendering logic in VirtualizedList, which does not account for data changes as a condition for updating/rendering. VirtualizedList is a dependency of FlatList, so this issue affects FlatList as well.
**Approach to Fixing Bug**
(i) Reproduce bug on iOS view of FlatList.
(ii) For VirtualizedList component:
# Isolate onEndReached function that appends more data to component UI.
# Isolate _onContentSizeChange function that is called when list content changes.
# Write snapshot tests using jest, based off existing test for FlatList.
# Refactor logic to append more data to list into _maybeCallOnEndReached function.
# Call _maybeCallOnEndReached in both _onContentSizeChange and _onScroll.
(iii) Run snapshot tests and observe jest output.
(iv) Bring up iOS view of FlatList and check that component now renders more items when content is filtered.
Many thanks to sahrens for guidance in developing this code!
