v0.59.0-rc.3

THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE: this means it's not stable yet.

Please refrain from upgrading from now, unless you want to collaborate in testing it to make sure that 0.59.0 will be fully stable - which would be super useful 🤗

To test it, run react-native init RN059 --version react-native@next 🚢

Some of the major changes that this version will bring:

• React Hooks 🎣
• the CLI is extracted to this repository
• quite a few new deprecated Components
• a whole lot of QoL improvements on the native Android side (64 bits support via a new JSC, AppCompatActivity, etc) - some of which will be Breaking Changes (for brownfield apps) 💥

(once we reach stable we will create the full changelog, these are only a few highlights)

You can refer to this issue for updates on the RC status, and you can post there your bug reports.
