Summary:
External modules are any Objective-C class in which the implementation is private. This currently will be most useful for Swift classes but also has potential to allow exposing methods on 3rd party libraries to the bridge.

Summary:
cc @a2 @nicklockwood
This diff introduces a new macro called `RCT_EXPORT_NAMED_METHOD`, which is like `RCT_EXPORT_METHOD` but lets you choose the name of the method in JS. This diff is backwards compatible with the `RCT_EXPORT_METHOD` and legacy `RCT_EXPORT` macros.
The entries in the data segment now contain `__func__`, the Obj-C selector signature, and the JS name. If the JS name is `NULL`, we take the legacy `RCT_EXPORT` code path. If the JS name is an empty string, we use the Obj-C selector's name up to the first colon (that is, the behavior of `RCT_EXPORT_METHOD`).
Since there are three values in each data segment entry, the macros now specify 1-byte alignment. Without the byte alignment, the compiler defaults to 2-byte alignment meaning that each entry takes up 4 bytes instead of 3. The extra byte isn't a concern but being explicit about the alignment should reduce compiler surprises.
