Summary:
`letterSpacing` is completely missing from RN Android at the moment.
I've reviewed the `letterSpacing` implementations in #13199, #13877 and #16801 (that all seem to have stalled) and managed to put together an improved one based on #13199, updated to merge cleanly post 6114f863c3, that resolves the [issues](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/13199#issuecomment-354568863) I've identified with that code.
I believe this is the closest PR yet to a correct implementation of this feature, with a few caveats:
- As with the other PRs, this only works on Android >= 5.0 (silently falling back to no letter spacing on older versions). Is this acceptable for a RN feature, in general? Would a dev mode warning be desirable?
- The other PRs seem to have explored the space of potential solutions to the layout issue ([Android renders space _around_ glyphs](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37079859), iOS to the _right_ of each one) and come up empty, so I've opted to merely document the difference.
- I have neither updated nor tested the "Flat" UI implementation - everything compiles but I've taken [this comment](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12770#issuecomment-294052694) to mean there's no point in trying to wade through it on my own right now; I'm happy to tackle it if given some pointers.
- The implementation in `ReactEditText` is only there to handle the placeholder text, as `ReactBaseTextShadowNode` already affects the input control's contents correctly.
- I'm not sure whether `<TextInput>` is meant to respect `allowFontScaling`; I've taken my cue here from `ReactTextInputManager.setFontSize()`, and used the same units (SP) to interpret the value in `ReactEditText.setLetterSpacingPt()`.
- I'm not sure whether `<TextInput>` is even meant to support `letterSpacing` - it doesn't actually work on iOS. I'm not going to be able to handle the Objective-C side of this, not as part of this PR at least.
- I have not added unit tests to `ReactTextTest` - is this desirable? I see that some other props such as `lineHeight` aren't covered there (unless I'm not looking in the right place).
- Overall, I'm new to this codebase, so it's likely I've missed something not mentioned here.

https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website/pull/105 - this docs PR is edited slightly from what's in `TextStylePropTypes` here; happy to align either one to the other after a review.

Summary:
A demo illustrated `base-line` metric exposure to layout system was added to RNTester.
And currently it shows that we don't support it at all.

Summary:
This is a complete rewrite of RCTText, the part of React Native which manages Text and TextInput components.
Key points:
* It's understandable now. It follows a simple architectural pattern, and it's easy to debug and iterate. Text flow layout is a first-class citizen in React Native layout system now, not just a wired special case. It also brings entirely new possibilities such as nested interleaving <Text> and <View> components.
* All <Text>-specific APIs were removed from UIManager and co (it's about ~16 public methods which were used exclusively only by <Text>).
* It relies on new Yoga measurement/cloning API and on-dirty handler. So, it removes built-in dirty propagation subsystem from RN completely.
* It caches string fragments properly and granularly on a per-node basis which makes updating text-containing components more performant.
* It does not instantiate UIView for virtual components which reduces memory utilization.
* It drastically improves <TextInput> capabilities (e.g. rich text inside single line <TextInput> is now supported).

Summary:
This is required for D5874536, wherein I'll be introducing direction-aware props for borders.
When a view's border changes due to a direction update, only the frames of its children update. Therefore, only the children `UIView`s get a chance to be re-rendered. This is incorrect because the view that's had its borders changed also needs to re-render. So, I keep a track of the layout direction in a property on all shadow views. Then, when I update that prop within `applyLayoutNode`, I push shadow views into the `viewsWithNewFrames` set.

Summary:
This replaces all uses of `React.createClass` with `createReactClass` from the `create-react-class` package, attempting to match use of `var` and `const` according to local style.

lineBreakMode is a non-existing property (or maybe legacy?)
While reading the docs I encountered this prop being used in the example, but it doesn't exist in the codebase anymore.
