Summary:
Currently any React Native apps that target API 23 or greater will crash on the first initial debug/dev build due to the overlay permission.
Sadly there isn't a concrete "request permission" baked into the Marshmallow permission system.
However, we can launch the overlay screen without starting the react app and once its turned on start the app.
- https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10454 - targetSdkVersion 23 lead crash / App crash for targeting 23+
- https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10479 - Add the overlay permission information / Larger discussion around targeting API 23+
- Intent to Overlay permission goes directly to the app in question, rather then the general full listing of applications. This allows a developer who is not familiar with the system to easily toggle the overlay without getting confused.
**Test plan (required)**
* Ran UIExplorer App on fresh install with Target 23
```
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UI

Summary: Sometimes the main component name is not known at activity construction time and depends on e.g. reading shared preferences. To support this use case, make `(Fragment)ReactActivity#getMainComponentName()` nullable and return `null` by default. In this case, the app will not be loaded in `onCreate` by default and the user has to call `loadApp` manually once the component name is known.

Summary:
The Android lifecycle is weird: turns out `onActivityResult` is called before `onResume`. This means `getCurrentActivity()` could return the wrong instance, or `null` if the activity was destroyed. To give developers access to the Activity receiving the result (which is also about to become the current activity), pass it as an argumento the listener.
Fixes github issue #8694.

Summary: Add FragmentActivity-based ReactFragmentActivity to support apps using the v4 support lib. Add delegate class to share implementation details between the new class and ReactActivity.
