Adds an option to preserve existing memoization guarantees for values produced
with useMemo and useCallback. We still discard the calls to these hooks, but we
preserve the information that the value is frozen at that point in the program.
Because these values are produced solely within the useMemo/useCallback
callback, their mutation cannot have any interspersed hook calls. This means
that the values mutable range will never span a hook and end at the point of the
useMemo, ensuring that they are memoized at the same point.
The main things that can change (relative to the orignal code) are:
* Forget will infer a precise set of dependencies, ignoring the user-provided
values. In practice this should only occur if the original code had a lint
violation, which Forget would bail out on. So in practice this shouldn't happen
unless the code doesn't use the React linter.
* Forget may start the memoization block earlier than the developer did if other
values are mutated along with the value being produced. This can cause
memoization to fail, but only in situations where it would have failed
previously:
```javascript
const a = [];
useFoo();
const b = useMemo(() => {
const c = a;
c.push(1);
return c;
}, [a]);
```
In this example (sans Forget) the useMemo will invalidate on every render
because `a` will always be a new array and its listed as a dependency of the
useMemo. Forget would correctly determine that the memoization would have to
work as follows:
```javascript
let c;
if (...) {
const a = []
useFoo(); // OOPS we made a hook call conditional
const t0 = a;
t0.push(1);
c = t0;
...
} else {
c = $[...]
}
```
Because this is invalid, Forget would (later in the pipeline) strip out this
memoization block and (as with the original) leave `c` un-memoized.
In this same example, removing the hook would cause Forget to be able to memoize
a value that wasn't memoized before:
```javascript
const a = [];
const b = useMemo(() => {
const c = a;
c.push(1);
return c;
}, [a]);
```
This invalidates every render without Forget, but would memoize correctly with
Forget (it would expand the memoization block to include the declaration of
`a`).
