Navigator.NavigationBar does not call the ref callback

[despairblue]

As mentioned here, it's not possible to get a reference to the NavigationBar, as the callback is never called.

I adapted the NavBar Example in the UIExplorer here. I added a ref callback to the Navigator and the NavigationBar. The one for the Navigator is called, the one for the NavigationBar isn't.

I'm trying to hide and show the navigation bar on demand, but that is impossible without a ref to it.

If you change https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/Libraries/CustomComponents/Navigator/Navigator.js#L1075 to use something like https://github.com/ide/react-native-clone-referenced-element it will honor the ref you pass in.

Already made a PR. Hope the way I did it is also ok.
