Title: Separate Child Reconciliation Step from Diffing

This separates the reconciliation step of children into a separate module.
This is the first step towards prerendering.

The stateful instances are reconciled and put into a "rendered children"
set. Updates creates a new of these sets. These two sets are then diffed
to create insert/move/remove operations on the set.

The next step is to move the ReactChildReconciler step to before the
native DOM component. That way it's possible to rely on child
reconciliation without relying on diffing.
