Joel Marcey b1e49832ef Make prev links work in guides and APIs.
Summary:
We had rendering support for prev links, but we never had any previous links in our metadata. Only next links. This adds that support to both Guides and APIs.

**For guides**: `previous` is manually inserted into the metadata of the actual markdown file.
**For APIs/Components**: `previous` is established via code within `extractDocs.js`

> This isn't totally perfect. For example, the transition from the last guide to the first API/component has a next link from the guide, but not a previous link from the API since the way you get the previous links are different from guides and APIs. But this gets us really close.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/8754

Starting the simulator

Once you have your React Native project initialized, you can run react-native run-ios inside the newly created project directory. If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the iOS Simulator shortly.

Specifying a device

You can specify the device the simulator should run with the --simulator flag, followed by the device name as a string. The default is "iPhone 6". If you wish to run your app on an iPhone 4s, just run react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 4s".

The device names correspond to the list of devices available in Xcode. You can check your available devices by running xcrun simctl list devices from the console.
