Summary: The current implementation was made out of simplicity and to keep the same API as before. Now that the java version of csslayout is deprecated it is time to change the API to make the calls more efficient for the JNI version. This diff with reduce allocations as well as reduce the number of JNI calls done.

Summary:
Implemented 2 TODOs from ReactART for Android:
- TODO(7255985): Use TextureView and pass Surface from the view to draw on it asynchronously instead of passing the bitmap (which is inefficient especially in terms of memory usage)
- TODO(6352067): Support dashes in ARTShape
We use ReactNativeART in our Android project.
1. Our app crashes sometimes on large screen smartphones with OutOfMemoryError. Crashes happen in ARTSurfaceShadowNode where TODO(7255985) was suggested in a comment in order to use memory more efficiently.
2. We needed dashes for drawing on ARTSurface.
**Test plan (required)**
I attach a screenshot of our app which shows dashed-lines and two ARTSurfaces on top of each other rendering exactly the same as in the pervious implementation of ARTSurface.
