Summary:
Microsoft’s RN for macOS fork supports the Hermes engine nowadays https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos/pull/473. As a longer term work item, we’ve started moving bits that are not invasive for iOS but _are_ a maintenance burden on us—mostly when merging—upstream. Seeing as this one is a recent addition, it seemed like a good candidate to start with.
As to the actual changes, these include:
* Sharing Android’s Hermes executor with the objc side of the codebase.
* Adding a CocoaPods subspec to build the Hermes inspector source and its dependencies (`Folly/Futures`, `libevent`).
* Adding the bits to the Xcode build phase script that creates the JS bundle for release builds to compile Hermes bytecode and source-maps…
* …coincidentally it turns out that the Xcode build phase script did _not_ by default output source-maps for iOS, which is now fixed too.
All of the Hermes bits are automatically enabled, on macOS, when providing the `hermes-engine-darwin` [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hermes-engine-darwin) and enabling the Hermes pods.
## Changelog

Test Plan:
Building RNTester for iOS and Android still works as before.
To test the actual changes themselves, you’ll have to use the macOS target in RNTester in the macOS fork, or create a new application from `master`:
