In React DOM, we use HostContext to represent the namespace of whatever
is currently rendering — SVG, Math, or HTML. Because there is a fixed
set of possible values, we can switch this to be a number instead. My
motivation is that I want to start tracking additional information in
this type, and I want to pack all of it into a single number instead of
turning it into an object. For better performance.
(In dev, the host context type is already an object that includes
additional information, but that's dev so who cares.)
Technically, before this change, the host context could be any namespace
URI string, but any value other than SVG or Math was treated the same
way. Only SVG and Math have special behavior. So in the new structure,
there are three enum values: SVG, Math, or None, which represents the
HTML namespace as well as all other possible namespaces.
These used to be used by partial render.
ReactDOMDispatcher ended up not being used in this way.
Move shared DOM files to client. These are only used by client
abstractions now. They're inlined in the Fizz code so they're no longer
shared.
