Phillip Pan 7c68cf43c4 replace SharedColor alias with class for more reliable template deduction
Summary:
Changelog: [Internal]

when we try to write a `SharedColor` type prop in the renderer, the template function we match to is the following:

https://www.internalfb.com/intern/diffusion/FBS/browsefile/master/xplat/js/react-native-github/ReactCommon/react/renderer/core/propsConversions.h?commit=28dacb972cda702d37dedd4612bc67c212d4d9eb&lines=108-132

this is because `SharedColor` is an alias of `better::optional<Color>`. ultimately, this causes a crash in L130 - the template deduction in L130 interprets the T as an `int`, rather than `SharedColor`, but our `rawValue` is pointing to `SharedColor`.

there was a number of options i considered, but didn't feel the most correct:
- wrapping `SharedColor` in another `better::optional` - this felt like a hack and didn't really provide any real benefits of the `optional` wrapper.
- writing a template specialization on SharedColor - this didn't seem future proof because we could introduce another type that could potentially wrap an integer, which doesn't seem impossible in the future - then we would get some conflict with our `SharedColor` conversion, which is custom to the behavior of colors.
- coercing the template during the function call - from an engineering perspective, this didn't seem like a great idea since it isn't clear to the engineer that this would be necessary and they would most likely only find out to do this after seeing a crash on their builds.

i ultimately decided to convert `SharedColor` to a simple class wrapper, similar to the implementation already used in Android. this alleviates all of the concerns with the other options above.
