Summary: Converted the zIndex property on iOS to NSInteger instead of double. This is consistent with the CSS spec, and helps to simplify the Android implementation.

Summary:
This diff implement the CSS z-index for React Native iOS views. We've had numerous pull request for this feature, but they've all attempted to use the `layer.zPosition` property, which is problematic for two reasons:
1. zPosition only affects rendering order, not event processing order. Views with a higher zPosition will appear in front of others in the hierarchy, but won't be the first to receive touch events, and may be blocked by views that are visually behind them.
2. when using a perspective transform matrix, views with a nonzero zPosition will be rendered in a different position due to parallax, which probably isn't desirable.
See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/7825 for further discussion of this problem.
So instead of using `layer.zPosition`, I've implemented this by actually adjusting the order of the subviews within their parent based on the zIndex. This can't be done on the JS side because it would affect layout, which is order-dependent, so I'm doing it inside the view itself.
It works as follows:
1. The `reactSubviews` array is set, whose order matches the order of the JS components and shadowView components, as specified by the UIManager.
2. `didUpdateReactSubviews` is called, which in turn calls `sortedSubviews` (which lazily generates a sorted array of `reactSubviews` by zIndex) and inserts the result into the view.
3. If a subview is added or removed, or the zIndex of any subview is changed, the previous `sortedSubviews` array is cleared and `didUpdateReactSubviews` is called again.
To demonstrate it working, I've modified the UIExplorer example from https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/7825

Summary:
This diff refactors the view update process into two stages:
1. The `reactSubviews` array is set, whose order matches the order of the JS components and shadowView components, as specified by the UIManager.
2. The `didUpdateReactSubviews` method is called, which actually inserts the reactSubviews into the view hierarchy.
This simplifies a lot of the hacks we had for special-case treatment of subviews: In many cases we don't want to actually insert `reactSubviews` into the parentView, and we had a bunch of component-specific solutions for that (typically overriding all of the reactSubviews methods to store views in an array). Now, we can simply override the `didUpdateReactSubviews` method for those views to do nothing, or do something different.

Summary: public
Added lightweight genarics annotations to make the code more readable and help the compiler catch bugs.
Fixed some type bugs and improved bridge validation in a few places.

Summary:
Moved the view creation & property binding logic out of RCTUIManager into a separate RCTComponentData class - this follows the pattern used with the bridge.
I've also updated the property binding to use pre-allocated blocks for setting the values, which is more efficient than the previous system that re-contructed the selectors each time it was called. This should improve view update performance significantly.
Summary:
@public
This fixes an issue with the containerBackgroundColor property of `<Text>` nodes, where containerBackgroundColor was being overridden by the backgroundColor. I also fixed up the example so that it demonstrates the feature more clearly.
Test Plan:
* Check UIExplorer text example
* Run Catalyst snapshot tests and check MAdMan, Groups
