Move string ref coercion to JSX runtime
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This moves the entire string ref implementation out Fiber and into
the JSX runtime. The string is converted to a callback ref during
element creation. This is a subtle change in behavior, because it will
have already been converted to a callback ref if you access
element.prop.ref or element.ref. But this is only for Meta, because
string refs are disabled entirely in open source. And if it leads to
an issue in practice, the solution is to switch to a different ref type,
which Meta is going to do regardless.
