Mehdi Mulani 947e71a922 Add RCTWeakProxy to properly deallocate RCTUIImageViewAnimated
Summary:
@public
CADisplayLink strongly holds onto its target, so you have to use a weak proxy object to pass the target into the CADisplayLink.

Previously we passed a weak-self point (i.e. weakSelf) but this did not have the intended effect, since the pointer to self would still be passed to CADisplayLink, and thus it would hold onto the RCTUIImageViewAnimated strongly.

So is weakSelf doing anything other than using self?
It is but it's very minor and not useful. In the case that the object got de-allocated between assigning self to weakSelf and creating the CADisplayLink, then we would pass a nil target. This is actually impossible though because we are running an instance method, so self is implicitly retained! So semantically it is something different but in practice it is the same as passing self through.

Notes:
* This system was added originally in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/24822
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/25636 then "enabled" this system by deprecating existing approach
