Joshua Gross 2cd89d040b Experiment: use int buffer to represent MountItems instead of concrete classes
Summary:
I've had my eyes on this optimization for a while: during TTRC especially, but really during any heavy render path, Fabric will create hundreds to thousands of MountItem class instances in order to construct a BatchMountItem.

This results in: hundreds/thousands of round-trip JNI calls, hundreds/thousands of Object allocations, etc. This will also result in increased memory and GC pressure.

Theoretically, by reducing the number of JNI calls and reducing allocations, we may be able to get some small wins in memory and CPU usage during very hot paths.

I am motivated to do this, in part, to indirectly measure the cost of JNI calls as well as allocating many objects vs an int buffer. I am unaware of such a measurement that we can use to make architectural decisions for React Native Android overall.

The other reason this could be a positive change: if it's successful and we can delete the old path, we'll be able to delete a bunch of Java classes entirely which is great for APK size wins.
