React Native: v0.57.6 Release

It's highly recommended that you skip this version and upgrade to 0.57.7.

The 0.57.7 release contains a fix for an issue that was introduced in 0.57.6's TextInput.

This patch release fixes a number of crashes, resolves build issues (both for iOS and Android). Thanks to every one who contributed with their PRs as well as those who participated in the discussion around which commits were good candidates for cherry-picking.

PLEASE NOTE: When upgrading to this version, you will also need to upgrade both react and react-test-renderer to version "16.6.1" in your project's package.json.
