Subject: [PATCH] Improve error when using mutable object as prop

Summary:
I was trying to add an object property to my ViewManager and got a really opaque error (and I almost thought Objects weren't supported by the codegen) until I realized it expected the object to wrapped in a $ReadOnly type.

Changelog: [Internal] Improved error in codegen
