Summary:
There was previously a race condition where hasActiveCatalystInstance would return true, but calling a JS module call on it would result in a crash. Now, hasActivtyCatalystInstance will only return true once the instance is actually accepting calls.
I'll follow this up with a more risky diff that gets rid of hasActiveCatalystInstance and just queues JS calls until runJSBundle is called.

Summary:
The goal of this PR is to place greater emphasis on the blog as a destination.
The dark Hero from the landing page is now present in the blog as well, and the content is front and center.
The sidebar has been removed. It is not necessary to show a list of recent blog posts in the sidebar when the blog landing page shows the same number of posts along with short excerpts.
The prev/next links have swapped positions, and will now display "Older posts" and "Newer posts".
The excerpts have been stripped of formatting and they are now consistent across the blog landing page and the OpenGraph metatags. Fixes#10597.
A signup form for the new React Native newsletter has been added to the footer.

Unicode characters get corrupted seemingly in random. The issue is from the way Unicode character parsing is handled in `RCTNetworking.mm`. When incremental networking is enabled, each chunk of data is decoded and passed to JS:
```objective-c
incrementalDataBlock = ^(NSData *data, int64_t progress, int64_t total) {
NSString *responseString = [RCTNetworking decodeTextData:data fromResponse:task.response];
if (!responseString) {
RCTLogWarn(@"Received data was not a string, or was not a recognised encoding.");
return;
}
NSArray<id> *responseJSON = @[task.requestID, responseString, @(prog

Summary:
Some recent change to Chrome causes the remote debugger to be throttled unexpectedly if it is in a background tab. Although this does not fix the problem, it raises the issue and suggests a workaround.
I also cleaned up some littering of the global namespace in the debugger web worker.

This change is related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/9677 that can happen when trying to get an Xcode release build, which in turn calls `react-native-xcode.sh` and if one has a non-standard file setup, ex:
```
ios/
|_ (iOS related code)
js/

|_ index.ios.js
node_modules
package.json
(other React Native JS code)
```

Summary:
This is a proposed patch for issue #7192.
Android 4.1-4.4 has support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 but it is disabled by default. Because of the known security issues and more and more servers switching to TLS 1.2 only, it would be nice for react-native to enable this support.
I demonstrated a demo application which showcases the problem and can be used to test this patch. All sources and documentation for it can be found here:
https://github.com/bringnow/react-native-tls-test
Credits to Alex Gotev (gotev) for the nice implementation.

Summary:
An Atom feed is now generated as part of the build script. This is done statically and not as a React view because React is not the right tool for generating XML documents.
Some additional metadata is stored in `metadata-blog.js` and duplicated to `metadata-blog.json` in the `server/` directory to aid in the generation of the feed. Let me know if there's a better way to import this data using the existing Haste module that wouldn't require writing an additional JSON file.
The feed will be available at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog.xml
A sample output of the Atom feed is included at the bottom. It is a [valid Atom 1.0 feed](https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi), with some additional recommendations that can be ignored for now.
> Congratulations!

> [Valid Atom 1.0] This is a valid Atom 1.0 feed.

> This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
