Description

Folks at SWM mentioned that Native Library merging caused a breaking change on com.facebook.common.logging.FLog (being removed).

This was caused by the current implementation which relies on stubbing of SoLoader. I had to break the api/implementation dependency of Fresco, as otherwise libraries would re-import SoLoader.

I've worked with the SoLoader team to release v0.12.0 which adds native support for Native Library Merging, so this breaking change is no longer needed.

There is also a change in the template that is needed:

• Properly load SoLoader with Native Library Merging react-native-community/template#51
