Andrew Clark d7dce572c7 Remove internal act builds from public modules (#21721)
* Move internal version of act to shared module

No reason to have three different copies of this anymore.

I've left the the renderer-specific `act` entry points because legacy
mode tests need to also be wrapped in `batchedUpdates`. Next, I'll update
the tests to use `batchedUpdates` manually when needed.

* Migrates tests to use internal module directly

Instead of the `unstable_concurrentAct` exports. Now we can drop those
from the public builds.

I put it in the jest-react package since that's where we put our other
testing utilities (like `toFlushAndYield`). Not so much so it can be
consumed publicly (nobody uses that package except us), but so it works
with our build tests.

* Remove unused internal fields

These were used by the old act implementation. No longer needed.

react-test-renderer

This package provides an experimental React renderer that can be used to render React components to pure JavaScript objects, without depending on the DOM or a native mobile environment.

Essentially, this package makes it easy to grab a snapshot of the "DOM tree" rendered by a React DOM or React Native component without using a browser or jsdom.

Documentation:

https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html

Usage:

const ReactTestRenderer = require('react-test-renderer');

const renderer = ReactTestRenderer.create(
  <Link page="https://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</Link>
);

console.log(renderer.toJSON());
// { type: 'a',
//   props: { href: 'https://www.facebook.com/' },
//   children: [ 'Facebook' ] }

You can also use Jest's snapshot testing feature to automatically save a copy of the JSON tree to a file and check in your tests that it hasn't changed: https://jestjs.io/blog/2016/07/27/jest-14.html.
