Andrei Coman 82c8c97898 Support orientation change on modals
Summary:
This automatically changes the size of the modal by listening to dialog size changes and propagating
those changes through UIManager.

In detail: I've looked into three ways of doing this:

1. Send `onSizeChanged` events/info from the View to the CSSNode directly. This is kinda hacky because you would need to hold a reference to the CSSNode somewhere, either in the View or in the ViewManager. But then you'll have to take care of the lifecycle of the CSSNode, so that you don't update it after it has been dismissed. Not great.
2. The version we went for, is to just update the size of the corresponding CSSNode in the same way we do it for root nodes: we inform the UIManager that the size of the root node has changed, and it will propagate that change, triggering a `dispatchViewUpdates` if none is underway, so that the layout is updated.
3. The other solution we thought of is to treat the Modal as a root view. This would mean rendering an application with the tag of the Modal as the root of the application. That tag would be received by calling some method into UIManager and ReactModalHostManager to create a new RootView, create a Dialog and plop the root view in it. The idea was to maintain the JS API that we now have, but make the implementation more correct (ie. since both RootView and the Modal must deal with touch handling), and could have other benefits (ie. no hacks necessary for making the inspector work on top of modals). However, the change is not trivial and I don't know just how much code would have to be changed to make this work correctly. We might revisit this at a later stage, after we've done more work on having several root views at the same time in the app.
