Description

We have a number of stubs for iOS and Android specific components which just extend UnimplementView. We shouldn't need to have these, but upstream they are defined as platform specific. E.g. WidgetIOS.android.js instead of WidgetIOS.js. Facebook seemed onboard with making stubs the default in this case, so out-of-tree platforms can consume them. We should do that once on master so we don't need to maintain duplicate stubs.

Research direction

Locate the iOS- and Android-specific component stubs that extend UnimplementedView, then compare them with the upstream platform-specific definitions described in the issue. Confirm the intended default-stub arrangement and remove the duplicate stubs so out-of-tree platforms can consume the defaults.
