VirtualizedList optimization - memoize FlatList._renderer

Summary:
Problem:
All CellRenderers rerender every time the containing VirtualizedList is rerendered. This is due to the following:
- Lambda is created for each CellRenderer's onLayout prop on every VirtualizedList render (fixed in D35061321 (facebook@19cf702))
- CellRenderer's parentProps prop changes on every VirtualizedList render (fixed in D35062323 (facebook@adb2962))
- FlatList recreates renderItem/ListItemComponent in FlatList._renderer (addressed in this diff)

Changelog:
[Internal] - VirtualizedList optimization - memoize FlatList._renderer
