Summary:
The iOS snapshots have been out of date for months, but the failure was not caught in open source's `test_objc` job because `xcpretty` was swallowing the non-zero error code.
To fix this, I enabled recording mode in RNTesterSnapshotTests.m temporarily, and re-ran the tests in order to update the snapshots. I've also switched the test device used by Circle CI to iPhone 6s to be consistent with the snapshot tests that run internally at Facebook.
Integration tests are not fully fixed yet, but I can confirm the following tests are fixed by this diff:
```
-[RNTesterIntegrationTests testImageSnapshotTest]
-[RNTesterIntegrationTests testSimpleSnapshotTest]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testARTExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testLayoutExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testSliderExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testSwitchExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testTabBarExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testTextExample]
-[RNTesterSnapshotTests testViewExample]
```
I've also fixed a few shellcheck warnings in related scripts.

Summary:
This is a long story. Awhile ago awesome Nick Lockwood (Hey Nick!) introduced a special optimization for ReactNative rendering layer called "inherited background color".
He described this idea in D2811031:
>>>
Blending semitransparent pixels against their background is fairly a fairly expensive operation on mobile GPUs. To reduce blending, React Native has a system called "background color propagation", where the background color of parent views is automatically inherited by child views unless explicitly overridden. This means that translucent pixels can be blended directly against a known background color, avoiding the need to do this dynamically on the GPU.
In practice, this is only useful for views that do their own drawing, which is basically just <Image/> and <Text/> components, and for image components it only really matters when the image has an alpha component.
The automatic background propagation is a bit of a hack, and often does the wrong thing - for example if a view overflows its bounds, or if it overlaps a sibling, the background color will often be incorrect and need to be manually disabled. Because the only place that it provides a significant performance benefit is for text, this diff disables the behavior for everything except <Text/> nodes. It might still be useful for <Image/> nodes too, but looking through the examples in UIExplorer, the number of places where it does the wrong thing for images outnumbers the cases where it provides significant reduction in blending.
However. I think it is time to remove it. Why? There are several reasons:
* It drastically complicates rendering layer. DRASTICALLY. In many many unrelated places (try search for "backgroundColor"!);
* This mechanism is totally non-conceptual to RN and it prevents us to implement some new possible render optimization that we plan to do;
* This adopted only by two components now: Text and ART;
* This is not a significant performance drain anymore; from iOS 6 even UILabel has clear background color by default.
* I doubt that it even works now because `drawRect:` in Text component does not call super method.
So, this diff just turns this feature off for Text. If all performance metrics are neutral, I will delete this mechanism.
Peace.

Summary:
It makes possible to just specify remote url for the <Image> and it will work.
`<Image source={{uri: 'https://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}} />`
