Andrew Clark a4ecd85e86 act: Batch updates, even in legacy roots (#21797)
In legacy roots, if an update originates outside of `batchedUpdates`,
check if it's inside an `act` scope; if so, treat it as if it were
batched. This is only necessary in legacy roots because in concurrent
roots, updates are batched by default.

With this change, the Test Utils and Test Renderer versions of `act` are
nothing more than aliases of the isomorphic API (still not exposed, but
will likely be the recommended API that replaces the others).

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://jestjs.io/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
