Research direction

The work is a cherry-pick of react/react-native PR 58964 onto the 0.87 release branch, so start by reading that PR and the original PR 57369, which added the AssetRegistry API. Check the TypeScript type definitions it adds for AssetRegistry. The issue says the original PR must merge before 0.88 stable, so confirm with the release team before picking. Done means the change is applied to 0.87 and the release team accepts it.
