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.
