Add pertinent info for fresh flatlisters

Summary:
I just worked with a fellow dev who was switching to flatlist and ended up pretty surprised at the performance drop.  The measurement had an exponential bridge saturation, causing flatlist to lose to a scrollview!

We knew something was up, but a little note in the docs would have helped.

Besides simplifying the API, the new list components also have significant performance enhancements,
the main one being nearly constant memory usage for any number of rows.
If your [`FlatList`](docs/flatlist.html) is rendering slow, be sure that you've implemented
[`getItemLayout`](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/flatlist.html#getitemlayout) to
optimize rendering speed by skipping measurement of the rendered items.
### JS FPS plunges when re-rendering a view that hardly changes
If you are using a ListView, you must provide a `rowHasChanged` function that can reduce a lot of work by quickly determining whether or not a row needs to be re-rendered. If you are using immutable data structures, this would be as simple as a reference equality check.
