Andrew Clark aa8266c4f7 Prepare placeholders before timing out (#13092)
* Prepare placeholders before timing out

While a tree is suspended, prepare for the timeout by pre-rendering the
placeholder state.

This simplifies the implementation a bit because every render now
results in a completed tree.

* Suspend inside an already timed out Placeholder

A component should be able to suspend inside an already timed out
placeholder. The time at which the placeholder committed is used as 
the start time for a subsequent suspend.

So, if a placeholder times out after 3 seconds, and an inner
placeholder has a threshold of 2 seconds, the inner placeholder will
not time out until 5 seconds total have elapsed.

react-test-renderer

This package provides an experimental React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment.

Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the "DOM tree" rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.

Documentation:

https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html

Usage:

const ReactTestRenderer = require('react-test-renderer');

const renderer = ReactTestRenderer.create(
  <Link page="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</Link>
);

console.log(renderer.toJSON());
// { type: 'a',
//   props: { href: 'https://www.facebook.com/' },
//   children: [ 'Facebook' ] }

You can also use Jest's snapshot testing feature to automatically save a copy of the JSON tree to a file and check in your tests that it hasn't changed: https://facebook.github.io/jest/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
