Summary:
public
Most of the time - especially during app startup - when we call UIManager.manageChildren(), we are actually just adding the first set of children to a newly created view.
This case is already optimized for in the JS code, by memoizing index arrays at various sizes, but this is not especially efficient since it is still sending an array of indices with each call that could be easily inferred on the native side instead.
I've added a hybrid native/JS optimization that improves the performance for this case. It's not a huge win in terms of time saved, but benchmarks show improvements in the ~1% range for several of the app startup metrics.

Summary: public
RCTUIManager is a public module with several useful methods, however, unlike most such modules, it does not have a JS wrapper that would allow it to be required directly.
Besides making it more cumbersome to use, this also makes it impossible to modify the UIManager API, or smooth over differences between platforms in the JS layer without breaking all of the call sites.
This diff adds a simple JS wrapper file for the UIManager module to make it easier to work with.
