Summary:
The Getting Started guide is one of the first documents a new user will encounter. This pull request aims to minimize the amount of time it takes to get a React Native app up and running.
* The original section title, "Required prerequisites", is redundant. "Installing React Native" is a better description of what this section is about.
* Detailed installation instructions for each of the required tools are delegated to the first party instructions where available.
* If the installation instructions already take care of installing the latest version, there's no need to warn the user about the minimum required version.
* Assume the user is familiar with Homebrew or Chocolatey, and defer installation instructions to the package manager's website. The installation and explanation of what a package manager is is out of scope within this document.
* Link to Node.js package manager instructions and let savvy Linux users use the pack

Prefer **small pull requests**. These are much easier to review and more likely to get merged. Make sure the PR does only one thing, otherwise please split it.
**Test plan (required)**
Demonstrate the code is solid. Example: The exact commands you ran and their output, screenshots / videos if the pull request changes UI.
Make sure tests pass on both Travis and Circle CI.
**Code formatting**
Look around. Match the style of the rest of the codebase. See also the simple [style guide](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#style-guide).

Summary:
Right now, if you do a search and select a document in Getting Started, it will
always default to iOS/Mac. This adds a bit of JavaScript to do a best effort
selection based on the hashtags of the headers.
If a header is associated with multiple environments (e.g., Android Studio), we
just choose the first one. So it is not 100% perfect, but it is decent.

** Test Plan **
Test locally by adding hash tags to the end of a doc URL and ensured that the toggler had the right
selection.
e.g., `http://localhost:8079/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#chocolatey` had `Android` and `Windows` chosen.

Summary:
Create the initial Core Components tutorial. The core components are `Text`, `Image`, `View`, `TextInput`, `ListView`.
1. Provide a summary for each core component, including a runnable sample.
2. Allow the tutorials for each component to be extended with more details and detailed examples, particularly after we add other tutorials (i.e., around state and props).
3. The samples should be runnable in a React Native simulator, if we can get that going in the docs.
4. Reorganize the docs sidebar to make the current Tutorial actually a Sample App, etc.
