Summary:
Following up on the previous diff to remove the only usage of `listKey` for persistent association, we can remove the need for a manual `listKey`, and instead rely on per-instance association via refs.
A followup change will remove the existing usages.

Summary:
When `getItemLayout` is not supplied, VirtualizedList doesn't know the measurements for its child items ahead of time. It caches most recent cell measurements so that an item which is virtualized away is associated with its correct height. VirtualizedList will not consume space for an item it has not yet rendered/knows measurements for.
This also means an initially created list will only take up the height of its `initialNumToRender()`. This can cause scroll jumping for the scenario of nested VirtualizedLists of the same orientation, since a virtualized away child list will shrink (compared to the spacer), then re-expand, once returned to.
There is logic in the VirtualizedList constructor to load cached frame metrics based on supplied listKey, to enable reloading most recent state. Though locally it seems to be reading the context too early in the lifecycle (compared to other successful checks during componentDidMount, render). It was moved from `componentDidMount` to `constructor` as part of the initial change (https://www.internalfb.com/diff/D6330846 (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/2668dc8e1be7bf93e65ca2e11c87cbeef3310c3e)?dst_version_fbid=131968984136932&transaction_fbid=1578362385612542), and I think has likely been unreliable or dead since.
Restoring state was the only usage of a durable key for nested lists beyond their lifetime. So removing the dead code lets us remove the need for a `listKey`, which has been error-prone. This still leaves the problem present since inception, but there may be alternate solutions like scroll anchoring.

Summary:
This change is in preparation of adding a separate `VirtualizedList_EXPERIMENTAL` component.
Both the original, and experimental lists use `VirtualizedListContext`, which itself references back to the VirtualizedList class type. VirtualizedList private methods are currently included in the type system, and are called in other VirtualizedList code (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/b2f871a6fa9c92dd0712055384b9eca6d828e37d). This prevents Flow from seeing the two classes are compatible if "private" methods change.
My first attempt was to parameterize the context, to allow both `VirtualizedList`, and `VirtualizedList_EXPERIMENTAL` to use the same code without sacrificing type safety or adding further duplication. This added more complexity than it is worth, so I am instead loosening the type on VirtualizedListContext to pass around a more generic handle.

Summary:
When a FlatList is nested inside another FlatList, it may be re-rendered whenever the outer FlatList renders. Apply the same optimization we already had in `VirtualizedListContextProvider` to avoid changing the context object if no values have changed.

Summary:
ES Modules implicitly enable strict mode. Adding the "use strict" directive is, therefore, not required.
This diff removes all "use strict" directives from ES modules.
