Summary:
`React.ElementRef<HostComponent<mixed>>` is an inexact object type, which can not be spread into an exact object type, as is happening here. This error is masked in types-first mode, but causes the instance type of this component to be `any`. In a future version of Flow, this issue will be fixed, so this change unblocks upgrading Flow.
This change is likely to cause code using `TextInput` refs to find errors which were missed before.
Changelog:
[General][Fixed] - Fixed Flow typing of TextInput refs
