Summary: This diff moves RenderHost initialisation to jest, which is thereby treated as just another 'Host' like flipper-ui, the electron app etc. A benefit is that it provides a mocked flipperServer by default that can be used to mock or intercept requests. See LaunchEmulator.spec as example. Also made the jest setup scripts strongly typed by converting them to TS. This change allows the test stub configuration, which was OS dependent, out of flipper-ui-core.

flipper-plugin
flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").
For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ
flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (TODO) Testing utilities
API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).
There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency.
Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
