Ramanpreet Nara 46944b7937 Implement auto-conversions from primitives to Objects
Summary:
If a NativeModule method requires an optional boolean argument, our codegen translates those optional booleans into `NSNumber*` instead of `BOOL`. The reason why is probably because this is the closest object analogue to `BOOL` in Objective C. The same boxing occurs with numbers. If the type of a number argument in JavaScript is optional, we'll map it to the `NSNumber*` Objective C type instead of `double`. Our existing TurboModules argument conversion code would not take this behaviour into account. Therefore, we'd try to insert a `BOOL` where the `NSInvocation` would expect a `NSNumber*`. This, in turn, would cause the app to crash. (Why would it crash at the point of NSInvocation retainArguments, I'm still not sure).

Our flow typechecking ensures that if the type of a method argument is a boolean, we pass in a boolean. Therefore, on the Native side, if we detect a boolean, we can check the type of the Native argument to see whether we should box the primitive. If the native argument type is an object, then we know it has to be an `NSNumber*` in both cases, so we simply wrap the `BOOL` or `double` in a `NSNumber*`.
