Fix polyfilling of regeneratorRuntime to avoid setting it to undefine…

Summary:
This diff fixes an issue that caused the problem with `regeneratorRuntime` last Friday (more info: https://fb.facebook.com/groups/frontendsupport/permalink/2427883350560427/).

The root issue is that both `InitializeCore` and `FBInitializeCore` are included in the same bundle, this fix just prevents the bundle from being invalid once this happens..

*copied from: https://our.intern.facebook.com/intern/diff/D10444264/?transaction_id=595485237532887*

The way that `regeneratorRuntime` is polyfilled is not correct:

```
polyfillGlobal('regeneratorRuntime', () => {
  // The require just sets up the global, so make sure when we first
  // invoke it the global does not exist
  delete global.regeneratorRuntime;
  require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
  return global.regeneratorRuntime;
});
```

Since a `require`d module is only evaluated once (no matter how many times it's required), defining (and calling) a getter for `global.regeneratorRuntime` twice will end up storing `undefined` to `global.regeneratorRuntime`.

There were no issues before this diff because the ordering of requires made things work by coincidence, e.g the following code will work:

```
// Set up regenerator for the first time
polyfillGlobal('regeneratorRuntime', () => {
  delete global.regeneratorRuntime;
  require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
  return global.regeneratorRuntime;
});

// Set up regenerator for the second time. This will just override the previous getter (which has not even got executed so
// the `regenerator-runtime/runtime` module has not been evaluated yet.
polyfillGlobal('regeneratorRuntime', () => {
  // The require just sets up the global, so make sure when we first
  // invoke it the global does not exist
  delete global.regeneratorRuntime;
  require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
  return global.regeneratorRuntime;
});

// Now access regenerator
global.regeneratorRuntime;
```

But the following code won't work:

```
// Set up regenerator for the first time
polyfillGlobal('regeneratorRuntime', () => {
  delete global.regeneratorRuntime;
  require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
  return global.regeneratorRuntime;
});

// Access regenerator. This will cause the previous getter to be called, and the `regenerator-runtime/runtime` module will get evaluated.
// Here, `global.regeneratorRuntime` will have a correct value.
global.regeneratorRuntime;

// Set up regenerator for the second time. This will define a new getter for `global.regeneratorRuntime`, which will delete `delete global.regeneratorRuntime`
// and return undefined (note that `require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');` is a noop since the module has been already evaluated).
polyfillGlobal('regeneratorRuntime', () => {
  // The require just sets up the global, so make sure when we first
  // invoke it the global does not exist
  delete global.regeneratorRuntime;
  require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
  return global.regeneratorRuntime;
});
```
