…yout manager Summary: To render text using an NSTextView, we need to gain access to a fully configured NSTextStorage to configure the text view to render the text with the right configuration. Test Plan: Tested later in this stack.

Summary: Use an NSTextView to render the text in RCTParagraphComponentView so that we would get UX interactions specific to desktop for free (e.g. text selection)
Test Plan:
- Run Zeratul with Fabric enabled
- Check that text is being rendered correctly with the right size and positioning.

## Summary: Revert #2286 There are 3 commits that make Text Selection work via NSTextView on Fabric, but we only ever merged two of them in. The 3rd (currently in #2673 ) is a work-in-progress, as it currently doesn't work. I need to debug why text selection doesn't work, but as it stands, the diffs to render with an NSTextView add more complexity for not much gain without it. I'd rather reland all the commits together and test with an implementation of Text closer to iOS in the meanwhile. ## Test Plan: CI should pass

Summary:
This is part of a series of PRs where we are cherry-picking fixes from #2117 to update our Fabric implementation on macOS.
Cherry pick the first couple of fixes to Text. Notable changes from the initial commits:
NSTextStoragethroughRCTTextLayoutManager. However, since react@840fd30 , that method doesn't exist. So we refactored a bit to add it back.Test Plan:
Launched RNTester and Text seems to render as it did on Paper.
