React Native raw event EventEmitter - intended for app-specific perf …

…listeners and debugging (facebook#23232)

* RawEventEmitter: new event perf profiling mechanism outside of Pressability to capture all touch events, and other event types

* sync

* concise notation

* Move event telemetry event emitter call from Plugin to ReactFabricEventEmitter, to reduce reliance on the plugin system and move the emit call further into the core

* Backout changes to ReactNativeEventPluginOrder

* Properly flow typing event emitter, and emit event to two channels: named and catchall

* fix typing for event name string

* fix typing for event name string

* fix flow

* Add more comments about how the event telemetry system works

* Add more comments about how the event telemetry system works

* rename to RawEventTelemetryEventEmitterOffByDefault

* yarn prettier-all

* rename event

* comments

* improve flow types

* renamed file
