Summary: public
This diff fixes the jumpy scrolling for multiline `<TextInput>` when using nested `<Text>` components to implement rich text highlighting.
The fix is to disable scrolling on the underlying UITextView, and nest it inside another UIScrollView that we control.

Summary:
This introduces event counts to make sure JS doesn't set out of date values on
native text inputs, which can cause dropped characters and can mess with
autocomplete, and obviates the need for the input buffering which added lag and
complexity to the component. Made sure to test simulated super-slow JS text
event processing to make sure characters aren't dropped, as well as typing
obviously correctable words and making sure autocomplete works as expected.
TextInput is now a controlled input by default without causing any issues for
most cases, so I removed the `controlled` prop.
Fixes selection state jumping by restoring it after setting new text values, so
highlighting the middle of some text in the new ReWrite example and hitting
space will replace that selection with an underscore and keep the cursor at a
sensible position as expected, instead of jumping to the end.
Ads `maxLength` prop to support the most commonly needed syncronous behavior:
preventing the user from typing too many characters. It can also be used to
prevent users from continuing to type after entering special characters by
changing it to the current length after a regex match. Made sure to verify it
works well with pasted input (including in the middle of existing text),
truncating it and collapsing the selection the same way it does on the web.
Fixes bug in TextEventsExample where it wouldn't show the submit and end events,
even though there were firing correctly.
Summary:
@nicklockwood - Could I get a review of this?
Just took `RCTTextField` and ported it from `UITextField` to `UITextView` as you mentioned in another discussion, and removed any `UITextField` specific attributes.
- How do you think this should behave when there are subviews?
- Do you know how we can respond to the `UIControlEventEditingDidEndOnExit` event to respond to submit? Because `UITextView` isn't a `UIControl` we can't just use `addTarget` with `UIControlEventEditingDidEndOnExit`.
- Any other feedback?
Still going to look over the `UITextView` docs in more detail and make sure we expose all important options, and add it to the UIExplorer example, just putting this out here for feedback.
