Summary: When metro is not running, D15559151 caused infinite exceptions (fetch threw an error if it couldn't connect to localhost:8081) which affected UI. Swallow those errors and everything works well, with or without metro.

Summary:
People ask "How do you use `console.log` with React Native?" and there is no good answer. This diff aims to stop people from asking this question.
See https://fb.workplace.com/groups/rn.core/permalink/2372327062999018/ for context.
This logging relies on network requests which can cause logs to show up out-of-order. To reduce the likelihood I queue every log message on the server for a maximum of 200ms. There could be other methods, like using websocket, but that seems more complex than is necessary at least in the beginning.
I considered various throttling strategies because this could be quite chatty and possibly problematic, however I think we can just ship this and iterate based on feedback. On my very underpowered laptop I logged a random number every 10 milliseconds and it didn't cause any issues or slowdown.
