Summary:
Fixes issue facebook#11828 that causes layout animations for removed views to
remove some adjacent views as well. This happens because the animated
views are still present in the ViewGroup, which throws off subsequent
operations that rely on view indices having updated.
This issue was addressed in facebook#11962, which was closed in favour of a more
reliable solution that addresses the issue globally since it’s difficult
to account for animated views everywhere. janicduplessis [recommended][0]
handling the issue through ViewManager.
Since API 11, Android provides `ViewGroup#startViewTransition(View)`
that can be used to keep child views visible even if they have been
removed from the group. ViewGroup keeps an array of these views, which
is only used for drawing. Methods such as `ViewGroup#getChildCount()`
and `ViewGroup#getChildAt(int)` will ignore them.
I believe relying on these framework methods within ViewManager is the
most reliable way to solve this issue because it also works if callers
ignore ViewManager and reach into the native view indices and counts
directly.

I wrote a minimal test app that you can find here:
<https://gist.github.com/lnikkila/87f3825442a5773f17ead433a810d53f>
The expected result is that the red and green squares disappear, a blue
one appears, and the black one stays in place. iOS has this behaviour,
but Android removes the black square as well.
We can see the bug with some breakpoint logging.
Without LayoutAnimation:
```
NativeViewHierarchyOptimizer: Removing node from parent with tag 2 at index 0
NativeViewHierarchyOptimizer: Removing node from parent with tag 4 at index 1
NativeViewHierarchyManager: Removing indices [0] with tags [2]
RootViewManager: Removing child view at index 0 with tag 2
NativeViewHierarchyManager: Removing indices [1] with tags [4]
RootViewManager: Removing child view at index 1 with tag 4
```
With LayoutAnimation tag 3 gets removed when it shouldn’t be:
```
NativeViewHierarchyOptimizer: Removing node from parent with tag 2 at index 0
NativeViewHierarchyOptimizer: Removing node from parent with tag 4 at index 1
NativeViewHierarchyManager: Removing indices [0] with tags [2]
NativeViewHierarchyManager: Removing indices [1] with tags [4]
-> RootViewManager: Removing child view at index 1 with tag 3
RootViewManager: Removing child view at index 2 with tag 4
(Animation listener kicks in here)
RootViewManager: Removing child view at index 1 with tag 2
```
