Add HostComponent to the public API of React Native
Summary:
In React Native there are three types of "Native" components.
```
createReactClass with NativeMethodsMixin
```
```
class MyComponent extends ReactNative.NativeComponent
```
```
requireNativeComponent('RCTView')
```
The implementation for how to handle all three of these exists in the React Native Renderer. Refs attached to components created via these methods provide a set of functions such as
```
.measure
.measureInWindow
.measureLayout
.setNativeProps
```
These methods have been used for our core components in the repo to provide a consistent API. Many of the APIs in React Native require a `reactTag` to a host component. This is acquired by calling `findNodeHandle` with any component. `findNodeHandle` works with the first two approaches.
For a lot of our new Fabric APIs, we will require passing a ref to a HostComponent directly instead of relying on `findNodeHandle` to tunnel through the component tree as that behavior isn't safe with React concurrent mode.
The goal of this change is to enable us to differentiate between components created with `requireNativeComponent` and the other types. This will be needed to be able to safely type the new APIs.
For existing components that should support being a host component but need to use some JS behavior in a wrapper, they should use `forwardRef`. The majority of React Native's core components were migrated to use `forwardRef` last year. Components that can't use forwardRef will need to have a method like `getNativeRef()` to get access to the underlying host component ref.
