v0.62.0-rc.0

THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE: this means it's not stable yet, so proceed with care.

Please only upgrade or create new apps with 0.62.0-rc.0 if you'd like to help us test this before the stable release - which would be super useful 🤗

To test it, run:

npx react-native init RN062 --version 0.62.0-rc.0

This release will be quite massive (there are around 1200 commits of delta between this version and 0.61!) so we don't have the changelog ready yet - it will be fully ready for when we will publish 0.62.0.
