Description

As a part of implementing shared core Microsoft.ReactNative.dll we must ensure that this DLL has no native modules inside. They all must be outside of this DLL. It means that all pre-packaged platform specific native modules must be packaged separately from the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll. This task is about extracting win32-specific modules out of the current react-native-win32.dll which then will be merged with the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll.

Research direction

Start by inventorying the Win32-specific native modules currently packaged in react-native-win32.dll and reviewing the Microsoft.ReactNative.dll shared-core boundary described in the issue. Done means the Win32 modules are packaged separately and Microsoft.ReactNative.dll contains no native modules.
