Summary:
The purpose of `EventBeat` is handling an asynchronous callback to itself which is being delivered on some different thread. That brings a challenge of ensuring that the `EventBeat` object stays valid during the timeframe of callback execution. The concept of Owner helps with that.
The owner is a shared pointer that retains (probably indirectly) the `EventBeat` object. To ensure the correctness of the call, `EventBeat` retains the owner (practically creating a retain cycle) during executing the callback. In case if the pointer to the owner already null, `EventBeat` skips executing the callback.
It's impossible to retain itself directly or refer to the shared pointer to itself from a constructor. `OwnerBox` is designed to work around this issue; it allows to store the pointer later, right after the creation of some other object that owns an `EventBeat`.

Summary:
We are not sure yet how exactly this should work semantically (e.g. should unbatched events flash previously dispatched batched or not).
So, let's disable that until we have all answers.

Summary:
In React Native there are several use cases where React State is not the only input that affects the component tree. E.g., in case of a <Modal> component, the screen size directly affects the layout of components inside modal; in the case of uncontrolled <TextInput> component, the text inside the input affects the layout of the surrounding components. `State` is a special (legit!) workaround for all those similar cases. Native part of React Native maintains a special shared object between all nodes of the same family and use that during cloning and commits.
See coming commits to know how to use that.
In the near future State will fully replace LocalData concept but for simplicity they both exist for now.

Summary: That's bummer that we have to do it, but it's actually reasonable. Files in `core` and `events` depend on each other creating circular dependencies and other similar hard problem.
