We have a number of types in Office's namespace (e.g. redbox and its helpers), which shouldn't be there. This tracks cleaning this up.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the redbox and helper types in the Office namespace within RNW, then determine the intended namespace boundaries and identify all affected references; done means those types and their usages no longer reside in Office's namespace without breaking the framework.
